## Supported versions
[pathes/](patches/) contains patches for all supported versions. Each patch is named by concatenating prefix `full` or `light` with the OpenJDK HotSpot tag. `full` patches support full redefenition capabilities (including removal of superclasses, for example). `light` patches are easier to maintain, but they only support limited functionality (generally, additions to class hierarchies are fine, removals are not).
