instrumentation

Hi Everyone,

I'll be working on a project for instrumenting a relatively complex java application, and I'm planning to use java.lang.instrument to hook into the JVM and redefine classes before they're loaded.

What is your take on this package? Is it well supported across JVMs? Does it work well with Hotspot?

Thanks!
