All three use cases seem useful. Right now I am not familiar enough with the code to
give concrete design tips.

AFAIK it is still one of the most popular ones, together with ASM which is supposedly 
smaller (footprint wise). See also http://java-source.net/open-source/bytecode-libraries

Everything else is probably not as popular. Given that we already use Javassist it might 
be easiest to stick w/ it.
