Instrument Java Thread

I am trying to instrument java.lang.Thread class with ASM. But it's not being loaded into ASM.

I start my program with:

java -javaagent:agent.jar -jar program.jar

Other classes from program.jar are loaded and instrumented. Is it possible to instrument Thread as well?

Probably not. Even if you retransform the java.lang.Thread class, retransformations cannot be applied if a class has frames on a threadstack, and by definition, I would expect some of Thread's frames to be at the top of every threadstack (including the one running your java agent!).
