The JavapUtils code is ugly. (I know because I added it.) If BCEL provides a better way to get at the debug information then we should use BCEL.
A big +1 from me. Glen, please make sure the code continues to work with methods that have array parameters and return values. Thanks!

The main benefits of this are speed and resource conservation (we no longer have to spawn a process to get the arg names from debug info in class files, and we can operate in environments where javap isn't around). It means one more jar to deal with. I think this is a very worthwhile tradeoff. Any objections to my checking this in? --Glen
