class is frozen

[cat4hire]

Hi,
manipulating a class and trying to re-manipulate it throws the RuntimeException with the cause "class is frozen". Having a look at the CtClass code, I found that this exception is always thrown due to the isFrozen method. Is it possible to remove the class name from the pool, thus it is possible to re-manipulate it? I will manage namespaces and caches by myself.

Thanks,
Luca

Hi,

Please use CtClass#defrost() or CtClass#detach().

In effect I was wondering about defrost, but it always throws an exception. Detach seems to be appropriate. Thanks, Luca

Hmm... defrost() should be overridden in CtClassType, a subclass of CtClass. I don't know why an exception is thrown.
