Is there a utility (or eclipse plugin) for editing java class files?
I'd like to manipulate the bytecode of a java class file without recompiling it nor having a complete buildpath.
E.g. to rename methods, add/delete instructions, change constants etc.
The only utilities I found are:
I have not seen any byte code -> byte code frontends, but plenty backends.
I would suggest that you have a look at the many byte code manipulation libraries like javassist
which allow loading byte code, manipulate it, and save it back to disk, and then write a small main that does exactly that.
