How to get all imports defined in a class using java reflection?

Question

Hi i am new in java reflection domain.So can anyone guide me in this problem scenario.

I have a class named "SomClass.java" and it imports a package named "SomPackage.RefClass" And some other java libraries like java.lang.. etc.

Now i wish to get know all the imports defined in a class through reflection.

import SomPackage.RefClass;
import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.io.IOException; 
 public class SomeClass{
  RefClass refClass_Obj;
  String nationality;
///some other members
}

I just wanna know the list of all import defined in a class using reflection.

I have seen a Question posted hear similar to my Q but it is not well elaborated so,need some good direction of help.

thanks in advance.

You can't because the compiler doesn't put them into the object file. It throws them away. Import is just a shorthand to the compiler.
