           Summary: BCEL 5.2 is not source compatible with 5.1
           Product: BCEL
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: bcel-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


At least two methods now declare checked exceptions that did not previously;
there may be others:

org.apache.bcel.generic.ObjectType.subclassOf(ObjectType)
org.apache.bcel.generic.ReferenceType.getFirstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType)
--> Both now declare ClassNotFoundException

This of course causes a compile-time error in existing code that does not
provide (inadvertent) exception handling around these methods.

Suggest revising release notes or remapping these exceptions to some type of
RuntimeException.
