I'm thinking of writing a library for analyzing/generating/manipulating JVM bytecode. To be clear, this library would allow one to load and work with JVM classfiles; it wouldn't be a compiler, interpretor or a GHC backend.
I wrote a JVM classfile library as part of LambdaVM (which is actually a JVM backend for GHC, it is a bit bit-rotted though, I need to get back into it): http://darcs.brianweb.net/hsjava/ It requires my hsutils library (also available on darcs.brianweb.net). I haven't touched the code in a while and it might need a tweak or two with recent GHC versions. Drop me a line if you have any trouble getting it working (and patches are certainly welcome). There isn't much documentation, besides the code and a few example programs that dump a pretty printed version of the data structure. I'd be more than happy to give anybody who is interested in using it some pointers though. -Brian
