+<h3>3.6 Reloading a class at runtime</h3></a>
+
+<p>If the JVM is launched with the JPDA (Java Platform Debugger
+Architecture) enabled, a class is dynamically reloadable.  After the
+JVM loads a class, the old version of the class definition can be
+unloaded and a new one can be reloaded again.  That is, the definition
+of that class can be dynamically modified during runtime.  However,
+the new class definition must be somewhat compatible to the old one.
+<em>The JVM does not allow schema changes between the two versions.</em>
+They have the same set of methods and fields.
+
+<p>Javassist provides a convenient class for reloading a class at runtime.
+For more information, see the API documentation of
+<code>javassist.tool.HotSwapper</code>.
