Hmm... I'm starting to worry that BCEL might not be able to do what we need.
Its default behaviour is to be very unconcerned with the order of classpool
entries - something that Pack200 is extremely concerned with. I've hacked up
a version of BCEL which will allow me to add a String reference to the
classpool without knowing ahead of time which Utf8 the String refers to -
but given that Pack200 is mostly writing out things that don't change
(except for classpool refs) I wonder if BCEL gives us much of an advantage.
