I’ve never used the jar monkey patching workflow (or gone much further with Java than some getting started guides in the 90s,) so I could be wrong, but it seems akin to opening up a new high-interest line of credit to pay down your current debt. Everyone has a plan to pay it down before the promo APR expires, but most end up making the minimum monthly payments and a year later have yesterdays debt with higher, retroactively-applied interest. Unless you know of an imminent replacement or resource boost, assuming there will be a better time to actually solve the root problem seems crazy.
