SPIClassIterator (Jackrabbit Oak 1.71-SNAPSHOT API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.lucene.util.SPIClassIterator<S>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator<Class<? extends S>>
```
public final class SPIClassIterator<S>
extends Object
implements Iterator<Class<? extends S>>
```
Helper class for loading SPI classes from classpath (META-INF files). This is a light impl of ServiceLoader but is guaranteed to be bug-free regarding classpath order and does not instantiate or initialize the classes found.

isParentClassLoader
```
public static boolean isParentClassLoader(ClassLoader parent,
                                          ClassLoader child)
```
Utility method to check if some class loader is a (grand-)parent of or the same as another one. This means the child will be able to load all classes from the parent, too.

hasNext
```
public boolean hasNext()
```
Specified by:

hasNext in interface Iterator<S>

next
```
public Class<? extends S> next()
```
Specified by:

next in interface Iterator<S>

remove
