Abstract
Implementing Binary Component Adaptation for Java
by: Ralph Keller and Urs Hï½lzle
Abstract:
This report gives a detailed description of our implementation of binarycomponent adaptation (BCA) for Java. We describe the adaptation specification,its translation into the delta file, and how class files are modified duringclass loading. We also explain how we integrated BCA into the JDK1.1.5 and howwe modified javac in order to compile against adapted classes.
