Ben McCann updated BCEL-186:
----------------------------
    Description: 
I'd love to see 6.0 released.

Here was the last vote:
http://apache-commons.680414.n4.nabble.com/VOTE-Release-BCEL-6-0-based-on-RC3-td4667129.html

Konstantin Kolinko reported some issues with caching that blocked the release:

bq. I noted new methods that introduced caching into classfile.ConstantUtf8 
class. BCEL_DONT_CACHE should at least have static setter, or a static setter 
for a cache instance / a factory class. RELEASE-NOTES.txt describes this change 
as [BCEL-163] Incorporate patch file from Findbugs which does not say much 
about this change. Actually this change introduced caching for ConstantUtf8 and 
ObjectType instances.

Emmanuel Bourg did some investigation and testing and reported back:

bq. If nobody object I'll remove this cache, the impact on the performance is 
too important to enable it by default, and the static state smells like a quick 
and dirty implementation. This feature could return as a pluggable cache if 
someone wants to provide a patch.

garydgregory suggested adding a flush method to clear the cache in ObjectType
