This is a valid problem and shouldn't have been closed.
> Branch target offset too large for short
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: XALANJ-1122
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-1122
> Project: XalanJ2
> Type: Bug
> Components: XSLTC
> Versions: 2.3
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Clare Myers
>
> With certain xsl (which I cannot divulge) when I try to compile using java
> org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Compile stylesheet.xsl I get the following
> error:
> Branch target offset too large for short
> According to BCEL it is an xsltc problem:
> Q: (Typically for users of Xalan (XSLTC)) I'm getting
> ...
> ClassGenException: Branch target offset too large for short
> when compiling large files.
> A: The answer lies in internal limitations of the JVM, branch instruction
> like
> goto can not address offsets larger than a short integer, i.e. offsets >=
> 32767.
> The solution is to split the branch into in intermediate hops, which the
> XSLTC
> obviously doesn't take care off. (In fact you could replace gotos with the
> goto_w instruction, but this wouldn't help in the other cases).
