Jens,
I guess you interpreted my "you can't do that" answer as "it's
impossible to do that" when what I meant is "it's a really bad thing
that you should never do because you've just corrupted the one shared
instance of the meta data for the UML2 model that the whole JVM is using
and it won't really do all the things you are expecting."

Use a dynamic model all the time.

Java supports things like hot replace when debugging, but even there,
you can't add a field to a Java class and still hot replace it. You can
want to do it, but that desire itself doesn't make it possible in practice.
