I very much doubt this. At best we'd get a lot more people who are excited to participate but loose interest once they realize they have no idea how to write a program to parse the opposing bot.
Java's reflection API could conceivably be used for this purpose. (Provided the programs are given access to each others compiled code rather than to the human-readable java source code.)
I'm sorry but really no. The reflection API allows you to see what variables and methods are contained, it can allow you to execute methods, but that's your only option, it doesn't really allow you to parse the insides of a method.
