» ASM
   Very small and fast Java bytecode manipulation framework; can be used to dynamically generate stub classes or other proxy classes, directly in binary form, or to dynamically modify classes at load time, just before loaded into a JVM. [Open Source, BSD]

» Concerning AOP and Inheritance
   Paper that introduces the Java-based language Sally and compares it with AspectJ: interactions as opposed to method entry, named advice, advice overriding. Also compares aspects, conventional inheritance, and mixins.
