So we need a way to create ConstantPool instance from byte array we can
retrieve by calling
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/jdk/api/jpda/jdi/com/sun/jdi/ReferenceType.html#constantPool%28%29
N.B. Byte array returned by ReferenceType::constantPool() does not contain
entry count at the start expected by ConstantPool(DataInputStream)
implementation.
{quote}
The above Javadoc for ReferenceType.constantPool() also says that "The format
of the constant pool may differ between versions of the Class File Format, so,
the minor and major class version numbers should be checked for compatibility".
Thus constructor may become ConstantPool(int, int, int, byte[])

> Project: Commons BCEL
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Maxim Degtyarev
>
> In some cases such as JDI API we have the class constant pool content only in
> form of separate byte array. Currently there is no way to load constant pool
> from byte array.
> The proposed patch add new public constructor to the
> org.apache.bcel.classfile.ConstantPool that allow loading ConstantPool from
> byte array representation.
