Hi All, Torsten is the person who is most involved in BCEL maintenance. But it appears that he's not around at the moment. Hopefully he will pop up sometime soon.
There was an attempt to get a BCEL release out, but there wasn't sufficient interest, particularly from testers. So nothing happened. BCEL isn't quite dead, but is very quiet. Torsten is the only person who actually reviews and commits patches. I should also be doing it, but am rather overloaded at the moment. So for people who are interested in seeing some activity in BCEL, I suggest sending an email to the list every week or two, just in case it pushes somebody into action. However without an Apache committer who has time to review and commit patches there isn't a whole lot of point in spending a lot of your time on this.
