no, that's around since 1.3 IIRC. :-) The HotSwap technology (i.e., the possibility to change method implementations at run-time) was introduced in the Java VM with the release of Java 1.4. What I don't understand is how HotSwap is supposed to be related to #become:. Also, JSR 292 does not change anything about that if I'm not totally mistaken. It introduces INVOKEDYNAMIC. The details at http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=292 do not give away anything related to HotSwap, schema changes or object identity exchange. But we're probably rather off-topic by now. ;-) Best, Michael
