How can I determine whether a Java class is abstract by reflection

Question

I am interating through classes in a Jar file and wish to find those which are not abstract. I can solve this by instantiating the classes and trapping InstantiationExceptio

Answer 1

public static boolean isInstantiable(Class clz) {
    if(clz.isPrimitive() || Modifier.isAbstract( clz.getModifiers()) ||clz.isInterface()  || clz.isArray() || String.class.getName().equals(clz.getName()) || Integer.class.getName().equals(clz.getName())){
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
