This is quite nice. I've been suggesting something like
this for a while now. It would be ideal if this could
become a part of the Classpath Tools project:

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/classpath/cp-tools/

You can use ASM (http://asm.objectweb.org/) for the
back-end.

This would mean however (and someone please correct me
if I'm wrong) that your stuff is released under the
GPL and the FSF is also assigned the copyright for this
work.

Thanks,
Ranjit.
