There is not much I could possibly say in my defense. The upstream authors are 
the developers of the BioJava at biojava.org. I gave that URL below.

 The library presents itself as a collection of routines to manipulate Java
 bytecode. It allows for the dynamic creation of Java class files without  
 using of Javac. Such tailored code can be used, i.e. as for the upstream's
 motivation of the BioJava developers, to generate implementations of            
Hidden Markov Models. It thus acts much like inline assembly for Java.

I have improved the description and thank you for pointing it out for me. 
Please feel free to join in on http://pkg-escience.alioth.debian.org whenever 
you feel like it, btw. Bytcode is only at the leaves of a large dependency 
tree eventually getting up to a support of the eScience workbench Taverna.
