Velocity depends on BCEL's predecessor - JavaClass. Avalon's Excalibur includes a GNU licensed competitor named gnu.bytecode from a package named Kawa, but no longer seems to be depending on it. I see this as an indication that there is an interest in such functionallity by Java based Apache projects, but I would prefer to understand the history behind Velocity and Excalibur's choices before proceeding. - Sam Rubyb --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
