Mark Roberts commented on BCEL-262:
-----------------------------------
It's even more awkward - you must use:
invoke.getReferenceType(cp).getClass().getName();
Does the need to deprecated the original method even matter any more? Who
cares if Java5 generates bad code?
> FieldOrMethod.getClassName(ConstantPoolGen cpg) is deprecated

> Project: Commons BCEL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> The method FieldOrMethod.getClassName(ConstantPoolGen cpg) is deprecated
> because it can return java.lang.Object for arrays.
> Now the method is defined in the superclass for FieldInstructions and
> InvokeInstructions.
> In the case of InvokeInstructions, can these ever reference an Array?
> If not, then the method could be overridden in the InvokeInstruction class.
> This new method would throw an unchecked Exception if detects an Array.
> This would change the behaviour of the method for subclasses of
> InvokeInstruction, but they would not need to be updated.
