I have done further reading on how this is implemented by the compiler and finally found out the answer I was looking for.
You can defenitely do that with javaassist. The key class is javassist.bytecode.SignatureAttribute. >From a CtMethod, i've obtained the methodInfo I add a Signature attribute. You >can do it with something like: CtMethod method = .... | MethodInfo methodInfo = method.getMethodInfo(); | SignatureAttribute signatureAttribute = new SignatureAttribute(methodInfo.getConstPool(), | "()Ljava/util/List<Ljava/lang/String;>;"); | methodInfo.addAttribute(signatureAttribute); If your more interesed in reading the signature with the generics inside, you can use the methodInfo.getAttribute(SignatureAttribute.tag). I hope this helped.
