Is there a way to display all the availables methods of some class in java?

Er... iterate over every single class and use reflection? It should be noted that "Java" is a language--it doesn't have methods. Classes have methods. Ah, you edited. Reflection is still the answer, though. — Dave Newton, Apr 12 '12 at 15:54

through reflection:

public static void main(String[] args){
    for (Method method : YourClass.class.getMethods()) {
        System.out.println(method.getName());
    }
}

Yup. And `getDeclaredMethods()` will do the same but also show the non-`public` ones. – sparc_spread Apr 12 '12 at 15:58

You can use Java reflection to get all information about a class.
