| The Byte Code Engineering Library (BCEL) is intended to give users a convenient possibility to analyze, |
| create, and manipulate (binary) Java class files (those ending with .class). Classes are represented by |
| objects which contain all the symbolic information of the given class: methods, fields and byte code |
| instructions, in particular. |
| |
| Such objects can be read from an existing file, be transformed by a program (e.g. a class loader at |
| run-time) and dumped to a file again. An even more interesting application is the creation of classes |
| from scratch at run-time. |
| The Byte Code Engineering Library (BCEL) may be also useful if you want to learn about the Java Virtual |
| Machine (JVM) and the format of Java .class files. |
| |
| BCEL contains a byte code verifier named JustIce, which usually gives you much better information about |
| what's wrong with your code than the standard JVM message. |
| |
| BCEL is already being used successfully in several projects such as compilers, optimizers, obsfuscators, |
| code generators and analysis tools. Unfortunately there hasn't been much development going on over the past |
| few years. Feel free to help out or you might want to have a look into the ASM project at objectweb. |
