JavaClass: JavaClass is a general purpose tool for Byte Code Engineering. This API is intended to give users a convenient way to read, create, and manipulate the binary Java *.class object files. Classes are represented by JavaClass objects which contain all the symbolic information of the given class including the method headers, fields and method code bodies. Such objects can be read from an existing file, transformed by the application and written back out to a new *.class file. The JavaClass library may be also useful if you want to learn about the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the format of Java *.class files.
