This is basically impossible because the name of a class is not enough to uniquely identify it. Multiple modules may contain classes with the same name; this is an inevitable property of any module system that provides module isolation.
In fact it’s theoretically impossible in “ordinary” Java as well, because the identity of a class consists of its fully-qualified name AND its ClassLoader. So you’re asking how to get half of the identity of a class given only the other half.
If you do know which bundle/module contains the class, then you can load the class from that bundle with
Bundle.loadClass("Foo")and from the Class object you can callgetClassLoader().
