      • ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder

        public ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder()
        If this constructor is used then HK2 descriptor files will be found by looking in the classpath of the process. The classloader used will be the classloader for this class itself. The names of the files found will be META-INF/hk2-locator/default.

        This is most commonly used when using HK2 from a stand-alone client in which all the JAR files are on a single classpath
