 Description: Documentation for Byte Code Engineering Library (BCEL)
- Documentation for the BCEL Java library which is used to manipulate Java 
- bytecode.
+ The Byte Code Engineering Library 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. 
+ .
+ This package contains the API (javadoc) documentation.
