Hi Markus -
Thanks much - I'm going to give that a whirl and see if it improves
Importscrubber's accuracy - it certainly should....
Thanks,

ok, here's my two cents (or was it dimes?): There are two ways how classes
can be referenced in class files: either through a direct reference to a
ConstantClass object in the constant pool, or through the signature of a
method/field. The former case is easy to detect, because you just have to
scan the constant pool. The latter is a little more difficult to detect,
but
I think you can do it by scanning the byte code and just take only those
constant pool entries (i.e. strings) into account that are referenced by a,
say, GETFIELD instruction. I think I even introduced an interface into BCEL
to denote such instructions named "LoadClass".
It takes a little more time than the heuristic method, but is still O(n) ;
-)
Cheers
Markus
