You can use BCEL to manipulate existing classes, but you can also use it
to dynamically create classes at runtime.

Ah. But then Ozone would have to have such a 'compiler' included, which
might be considered to go beyond the scope of the project. Such an
environment could IMHO better be implemented on top of Ozone rather that
in it. It could then also be used on top of other databases, or even
plain on itself in a JVM.
