--------------------------------------
Hi [~kriegaex]
I am not aware of other developers' schedule so I can only speak for myself and
I am indeed an active maintainer here and in all of Apache Commons (over 20
components), I just do not have the need in my current projects to accommodate
Java's latest features, but it's interesting stuff for sure. I am not surprised
that BCEL has not kept up with Java's twice-a-year release cycle, that is a lot
of moving parts!
Many people have contributed to BCEL over the years, which can see here
[https://github.com/apache/commons-bcel/graphs/contributors,] and more recently
as you can see in the recent commit history
[https://github.com/apache/commons-bcel/commits/master]
"fix it with a very small investment of time" Right... how would you know
without digging into the code? ;)
[~markro] Any thoughts?
> Handling for Constants.CONSTANT_Dynamic is missing in class ConstantPool

> Key: BCEL-362
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-362
> Project: Commons BCEL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Alexander Kriegisch
> Priority: Major
>
> _Disclaimer: I am not a byte code buff, so if I am misunderstanding anything
> here, please forgive me for raising a stupid issue, try to be patient and
> explain it to me._
> When looking at the class
> {{[ConstantPool|https://github.com/apache/commons-bcel/blob/5165671d2bc4bed17918051f1689ee5fd4c3425a/src/main/java/org/apache/bcel/classfile/ConstantPool.java]}},
> it seems as if condy is not being handled in methods
> * {{constantToString(Constant)}},
> * {{addConstant(Constant, ConstantPool)}},
> * {{addConstantDynamic(int, int)}} (method does not exist, not sure if it
> would be necessary).
> I would have expected something like {{case Constants.CONSTANT_Dynamic}} with
> proper handling for this case in the first two methods.
> When using BCEL in order to parse class files using condy, like JaCoCo
> creates them, this causes errors. FYI, we are using BCEL code in AspectJ, and
> whenever people combine it with JaCoCo, corresponding problems occur.
