BCEL folks,
I know that this has been asked in the past, but I wanted to see if anything had clarified since I last saw this question. Are there any specific plans (or just some general thoughts) for an 'official' bcel release that support the 1.5 classfile additions? I know that changes have been made to the head of the tree to support things like annotations, but what I don't know is the level of complete-ness or stability for those enhancements. Has anyone out there utilized a development build created after the changes for 1.5 were complete? Have you been able to go "into production" with that build? My current situation is that today we use the classfile module from Netbeans for reading class files, but we wanted to have access to the richer set of capabilities within BCEL. The lingering concern is that there might be some form of compatibility issues with java 1.5 built classfiles. And with that last in mind, if my application did not care about annotations (currently), what version(s) of BCEL would work on a 1.5 generated classfile? Thanks for your help! Regards, Ev
