Can you inspect the byte code of a Java 8 lambda at runtime?

Question

If you have an anonymous class like

Predicate isEmpty = new Predicate() {
    public boolean test(String t) {
        return t.isEmpt         


        

Answer 1

I found another way: by patching the InnerClassLambdaMetafactory it is possible to add an annotation to the lambda classes which points to the implementation method. This is possible at runtime by loading an agent and retransforming the metafactory. See my Blog for details.
