Actually, this is representative of why I am writing my own utility. That
package tree does not actually make it easy to see all the derivative
classes, as they are hiding behind the multiple levels of abstraction. I am
not saying it is terribly hard. Still, for a non-Java programmer who is
just stepping out of Solr as a black box and trying to understand what can
be plugged-in in various configurations to improve their results, it is
non-trivial first couple of times. Especially, since it is not just the
class name that is important but also which jar need to be added to the
library statement.

My (preliminary) output for the CharFilters looks like this:
 -CharFilterFactory
(example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/lucene-analyzers-common-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.lucene.analysis.util)
     HTMLStripCharFilterFactory
(example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/lucene-analyzers-common-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.lucene.analysis.charfilter)
     MappingCharFilterFactory
(example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/lucene-analyzers-common-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.lucene.analysis.charfilter)
     PersianCharFilterFactory
(example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/lucene-analyzers-common-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.lucene.analysis.fa)
     JapaneseIterationMarkCharFilterFactory
(example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/lucene-analyzers-kuromoji-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.lucene.analysis.ja)
     PatternReplaceCharFilterFactory
(example/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/lucene-analyzers-common-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.lucene.analysis.pattern)
     LegacyHTMLStripCharFilterFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.analysis)
     MockCharFilterFactory
(dist/solr-test-framework-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.analysis)

And (part of) URP tree:
 -UpdateRequestProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
     UIMAUpdateRequestProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-uima-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.uima.processor)
     -AbstractDefaultValueUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
         DefaultValueUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
         TimestampUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
         UUIDUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
     CloneFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
     DistributedUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
     -FieldMutatingUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
         ConcatFieldUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
         CountFieldValuesUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
         FieldLengthUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
         -FieldValueSubsetUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
             FirstFieldValueUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
             LastFieldValueUpdateProcessorFactory
(dist/solr-core-4.1.0.jar/org.apache.solr.update.processor)
....

- at the start is abstract class, I also have * (not here) for classes
without empty constructor (hence my original question).

This is useful and confirms my 'empty-constructor' assumption.

Will do. I was just wondering if there was a semi-comprehensive list. But I
can build it iteratively.
