The method includes compiling a call to and a Method of a first class (assuming that the Method is final), determining whether the second class includes an instance of the Method of the first class, determining whether the instance of the Method of the second class overrides the Method of the first class, and altering the compiled code of the Method of the first class if the instance of the Method of the second class overrides the Method of the first class.
