Jon Freedman commented on BCEL-173:
-----------------------------------
Java 7 is now in end-of-life & no-longer recommended for production use. If
there is no 6.0 relesae forthcoming I see no alternative but to find
replacements for any libraries dependent on BCEL. I don't know how up to date
your "Used by" link is but if it's not possible to get a build out within the
next month or so I don't see much future for the project.
