Re: [Jikesrvm-researchers] Anyone know of a class file generation toolkit?

[Adam W. <we...@cs...>]

Hello,
BCEL (Byte Code Engineering Library) from the Apache project is one of the 
popular ones:

http://bcel.sourceforge.net/

It is quite simple yet reasonably powerful. It allows you to both create 
bytecode (class files) from scratch and to modify the existing ones.

Best regards
