As I'm sure you know, doing this would be extremely thorny, but there's no reason you couldn't. I can think of a couple cases (dynamically generated JSPs, JDOs for dynamically created tables) where it could even border on usefulness. While you can't modify a class that has already been loaded (add attributes/methods), you can fairly easily create new classes, get them compiled, loaded, and execute them with reflective calls. It's fringe and of questionable utility, but certainly possible.

find about it anywhere...
  There is a way to modify/create java classes at runtime? I mean,
create plain new classes, or add attributes/methods to an existing, etc?

  Maybe I'm asking for Java++? :-)
