Changing the funcionality of an existing component
Answered
Hi,
In the intellij software, there is the sub class hierarchy browser. I would like to slightly change it's functionality (add a custom filtering). I've managed to find the specific class and method I want to modify (The class is instantiated at runtime). However I'm not sure if this can be done from a plugin perspective at runtime.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

It this class is registered as an extension point - that'd be no problem, but it's initiated as new MyClass() - it's not possible to swap such class with another.
Java instrumentation.
Be prepared, this is the "dark side".
