Nothing special. Just as same as common Java Class Instance.
But those class are Synthetic proxy classes created by java.lang.reflect.Proxy#newProxyInstance
Introduced in 1.3
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/relnotes/features.html#reflection
It is a part of Java. so each JVM should support it.
In short : they are created using JVM ASM tech ( defining javabyte code at runtime )
something using same tech:
java.lang.reflect.Proxy#newProxyInstancegetProxyClass0 to obtain a `Class
`
ProxyGenerator.generateProxyClass which return a byte[]define class to load the generated $Proxy Class (the classname you have seen)each method is build with same bytecode like
invocation handler's invoke()invocation handler's invoke()the class(bytecode) represent in form of byte[]
How to draw a class
Thinking your java codes are compiled into bytecodes, just do this at runtime
