Within a custom Quarkus extension I would like to integrate an existing java library that currently is not compatible to Quarkus.
Are there any examples for the following use cases:
remove a java class from a dependency library (library is referenced as maven-dependency)- In this case I'll provide a compatible implementation within the runtime-module.
replace specific parts of an existing class form a dependency library (e.g. a default implementation of an interface)
Thanks, Thomas
For the first case, you can use a io.quarkus.deployment.builditem.RemovedResourceBuildItem to have Quarkus essentially remove a class from a dependency.
For the second case, you'll likely need to use a io.quarkus.deployment.builditem.BytecodeTransformerBuildItem which lets you declare an ASM class transformer which can change a class in arbitrary ways.
If you are only looking to change the class for native mode, it's much easier to instead use com.oracle.svm.core.annotate.TargetClass and com.oracle.svm.core.annotate.Substitute.
