Modifying system classes is cheating as is writing classes in the java
/ javax package tree.

I think you will need to replace the classes in rt.jar.

This might turn into one of those nightmare "loose bedspread thread"
projects where you try to pull out a loose thread and it keeps on
unravelling.

A tiny change to one class precipitates rippling changes in other
classes. It should not happen, but make sure before embarking.

You will be in legal trouble if you sell any product with such mods.

To do this legally, you will need to implement those classes yourself
in your own package.
