The best way I can think of is to use the ASM-bytecode framework. Then at least you wouldn't have to go through some decompilation-output with a line-parser. In fact, getting the method-stubs should be like a 20-line implementation of one of their Visitor-interfaces.

I've used it myself for bytecode rewriting and it's fairly simple and straight forward (especially if you're just reading the class-files).
