Class ClassPoolFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.sourceforge.jemm.weaver.transformation.ClassPoolFactory

public final class ClassPoolFactory
extends java.lang.Object

A factory for the ClassPool class from Javassist which makes it easy to throw away the old ones and create a new one. This functionality is needed due to the design of the ClassPool class which holds onto CtClass instances. The factory has the functionality to only throw away the cached values every 20 classes which may improve performance without consuming too much RAM.
