-----------------------------------
Let's see if anyone chimes in with some historical context...
> Why is this string.replace line needed in generic.ObjectType constructor?
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BCEL-306
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-306
> Project: Commons BCEL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Main
> Affects Versions: 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2
> Reporter: Sagar Tewari
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Why is this line present in the ObjectType constructor:
> [https://github.com/apache/commons-bcel/blob/5e2febea94ae56db7fd0729e808625f7be1f6a32/src/main/java/org/apache/bcel/generic/ObjectType.java#L45]
>
> The javadoc states that this constructor expects a fully qualified name(which
> do not contain '/'s). Is it some legacy stuff which is no longer needed since
> all the tests pass if I replace this line with this one:
> this.class_name = class_name;
