I've seen a few neat features in other languages around Java like generators and the recent "await" feature, and I tried to implement some of them using bytecode manipulation. However, I think these are neat enough for most developers to make them a language feature. I've seen the kijaro project; however, there seems to be very little documentation on how to get on there. So, even if only for my own use and curiousity, how should I approach doing so?

Thanks!

Take a look at the article entitled "So you want to change the Java Programming Language..." on Oracle's blog.
