The Apache Commons community is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons BCEL 6.0.
The Byte Code Engineering Library (Apache Commons BCEL) is intended to give users a convenient way to analyze, create, and manipulate (binary) Java class files (those ending with .class). Classes are represented by objects which contain all the symbolic information of the given class: methods, fields and byte code instructions, in particular. The most important changes in this release include: - Support for Java 6, Java 7 & Java 8 - Updated Java requirement to Java 7 - Dropped serialization support from all classes Details of changes since 5.2 are in the release notes: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/commons/bcel/RELEASE-NOTES.txt The release artifacts can be downloaded from the Apache Commons BCEL website: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-bcel/download_bcel.cgi Alternatively the release can be pulled via maven: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.bcel</groupId> <artifactId>bcel</artifactId> <version>6.0</version> </dependency> For information about how to use Apache Commons BCEL, report bugs or contribute to the project, please visit the website: http://commons.apache.org/bcel Thank you!
