ByteBuddy
http://bytebuddy.net/byte-buddy-dep: Byte Buddy is a Java library for creating Java classes at run time. This artifact is a build of Byte Buddy with a remaining dependency onto ASM. You should never depend on this module without repackaging Byte Buddy and ASM into your own namespace.

Instances of this class serve as a focus point for configuration of the library's behavior and as an entry point
to any form of code generation using the library. For this purpose, Byte Buddy offers a fluent API which allows
for the step-wise generation of a new Java type. A type is generated either by:

Subclassing some type: A subclass - as the name suggests - extends another, existing Java type. Virtual
members of the generated type's super types can be overridden. Subclasses can also be interface extensions of one
or several interfaces.
Redefining a type: By redefining a type, it is not only possible to override virtual methods of the
redefined type but also to redefine existing methods. This way, it is also possible to change the behavior of
non-virtual methods and constructors of the redefined type.
Rebasing a type: Rebasing a type works similar to creating a subclass, i.e. any method being overridden
is still capable of invoking any original code of the rebased type. Any rebased method is however inlined into the
rebased type and any original code is preserved automatically. This way, the type's identity does not change.
 Byte Buddy's API does not change when a type is rebased, redefined or subclassed. All types are created via the Builder interface. Byte Buddy's API is expressed by fully immutable components and is therefore thread-safe. As a consequence, method calls must be chained for all of Byte Buddy's component, e.g. a method call like the following has no effect: ByteBuddy byteBuddy = new ByteBuddy();
byteBuddy.foo()
Instead, the following method chain is correct use of the API:
ByteBuddy byteBuddy = new ByteBuddy().foo();
 For the creation of Java agents, Byte Buddy offers a convenience API implemented by the AgentBuilder. The API wraps a ByteBuddy instance and offers agent-specific configuration opportunities by integrating against the Instrumentation API.

Creates a new builder for subclassing the provided type. If the provided type is an interface, a new class implementing
this interface type is created.

 When extending a class, Byte Buddy imitates all visible constructors of the subclassed type. Any constructor is implemented to only invoke its super type constructor of equal signature. Another behavior can be specified by supplying an explicit ConstructorStrategy by subclass(Class<Object>, ConstructorStrategy). 

Note: This methods implements the supplied types in a generified state if they declare type variables or an owner type.


Note: Byte Buddy does not cache previous subclasses but will attempt the generation of a new subclass. For caching types, a external cache or TypeCache should be used.
