The JDK comes with the source code of the core java api packages. For testing and debugging purposes, I want to modify the behaviour of some of the standard java packages. Let's say, I want to modify the java.util.ArrayList. I tried to recompile from the supplied src the java.util.ArrayList class. But it gives me "error: Class names, 'java.util.ArrayList', are only accepted if annotation processing is explicitly requested". What's wrong with this?

You are by the JVM license explicitly prohibited from modifying the core Java API packages.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
