This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expressionList(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as
part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.

Convenience method that scans the specified classes for all concrete classes that are subclasses of the named class. A subclass, in this definition, is a class that directly or indirectly (a) implements an interface (if the named class is an interface) or (b) extends a subclass (if the named class is a class). The class must be concrete, so intermediate abstract classes are not returned, though any children of such abstract classes will be.

WARNINGS
This method converts the iterator to a map of classes, for easier lookup. Thus, upon its return, the iterator will be empty. You can certainly recreate the iterator, but at a cost. If you need to make multiple calls to this method with the same classpath, consider converting the iterator to a map first, as shown below:
val finder = ClassFinder(myPath)
val classes = finder.getClasses // classes is an Iterator[ClassInfo]
val classMap = ClassFinder.classInfoMap // runs the iterator out, once
val foos = ClassFinder.concreteSubclasses("org.example.Foo", classMap)
val bars = ClassFinder.concreteSubclasses("org.example.Bar", classMap)

The eq method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on
non-null instances of AnyRef:
* It is reflexive: for any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(x) returns true.
* It is symmetric: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, x.eq(y) returns true if and
only if y.eq(x) returns true.
* It is transitive: for any non-null instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.eq(y) returns true and y.eq(z) returns true, then x.eq(z) returns true.
Additionally, the eq method has three other properties.
* It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
* For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
* null.eq(null) returns true.
When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is
consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they
should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.
This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.
The default implementations of this method is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence
relation]:
* It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
* It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and

* It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and
y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation.
Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects
that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same
scala.Int
(o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet
not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0.
However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have
identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure
to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.
