I've been working on a similar project called "CIDER", with
the permission of the original creator to eventually release
something under the LGPL. CIDER does support bytecode
editing (though the version you can find online is so old as
to be unuseable).

I created a new GUI for it, but I've been getting frustrated
recently because the class parsing code is still very
fragile and is taking a lot of time to clean up (the
original project was an academic work, using Java 1.0.2!).
I will be looking to see if I can either incorporate some of
the CE code, or maybe just scrap CIDER and add features like
bytecode editing into the CE codebase (I'd submit patches
back to this project with my updates).

Tanmay, what are your development plans? And do you want
help with this feature? I don't have any use for writing
classfiles as XML. Also, I don't want to be working on this
if you (or another developer) are already working on it.
