extending the constant pool continued

Hi Patrick:

> modify bytecode and the constant pool.

That sounds vaguely similar to what Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVM TI)
calls Retransform or Redefine Class:

   http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/platform/jvmti/jvmti.html#RetransformClasses
   http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/platform/jvmti/jvmti.html#RedefineClasses

There is code in JVM TI to change method bodies, the constant pool and attributes.
Have you looked at that?
