Dave Brosius commented on BCEL-173:
-----------------------------------
Some people expressed concern that we were breaking compatibility with
JDK support, and so the thought was that a bunch of code would need to
be rolled back. I'm not sure why that matters, we've already changed the
package structure so there is no conflict. But that is where we are.
There hasn't been a large amount of testing on it. Findbugs is the
primary tester of it, and they have been running with a forked version
(who's changes are now in bcel trunk), so there's that proof of
correctness at least.
I'd release it myself, otherwise, there's no point, if it goes any further.
