Sorry - I have been away for most of the week and haven't had time 
for a considered response. However, I think the amount of shepherding 
that is required for this paper is relatively minor...

Apart from dealing with the referee's comments, I think there are 
only really two other issues that need to be addressed in the 
revision:

- some more detail about how the Java reflection API was used to 
implement the technology

- some more comments about performance

I don't think there are any major problems with the structure of the paper.

Good - this is the main reason that the paper was only accepted as a 
short paper. But you could perhaps make more of the trade-offs or 
benefits involved in the two different approaches to implementing 
adaptive programming.

Cheers,
