Alternative VM for OpenJDK 11 with enhanced class redefinition
The Dynamic Code Evolution Virtual Machine (DCE VM) is a modification of
the Java HotSpot VM that allows unlimited redefinition of loaded classes
at runtime. The current hotswapping mechanism of the HotSpot VM allows
only changing method bodies. This enhanced VM allows adding and removing
fields and methods as well as changes to the super types of a class.
.
This alternative VM is enabled by adding the -dcevm option when invoking
the java command.
