When using java -cp path1:path2:path3 SomeClass to execute a class, is it possible to make java report the jar or class filename and pathname which it finds for each package imported in the class?

I believe you need to use the `-verbose` option, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10230279/java-verbose-class-loading – Olivier Gérardin Apr 12 '19 at 12:05

No ... and partly yes.
No because "importing" is a compile time concept only. There is no need to import a class in order to use it, and an import statement doesn't actually mean that the class is actually used. Also, you don't import a package: you import classes from a package, or static members from a class.
Partly yes because the java -verbose:class option will log each class that gets loaded by the JVM.
And if you want to statically find all of the other classes that are directly referenced by a given class it is possible to get this by analyzing the classes .class file.
