Recaf - A Modern Java Bytecode Editor
Recaf is an open-source Java bytecode editor built on top of Objectweb's ASM. ASM is a bytecode manipulation library that abstracts away the constant pool and a few other class-file attributes. Since keeping track of the constant pool and managing proper stackframes are no longer necessary, complex changes can be made with relative ease. With additional features to assist in the process of editing classes, Recaf is the most feature rich free bytecode editor available.
