Custom libraries that can detect the classes that import them

Question

I am trying to find a way to get the name of the classes that import my custom library. Thus, if Class A imports libcustomA then libcustomA should know Class A's name at runtime. Thus, I can use the Class.forName(class A's name) to get a new instance of class A and do reflections on that class. I do not want to use a variable for Class A's name and have Class A provide me it's name. I want to do it more professionally than that like how spring and hibernate do it. Is there a way that I can ask the JVM for the class that is importing my library or something similar to that. Thank you in advance for your answers.

No you cannot get the information of which class imported your class, you need to get a reference of the client class inside yours. May be you can create an interface and ask the client ClassA to implement the interface and in your class from libcustomA have a method which takes the interface,and the client ClassA should invoked your method sending its reference this.
