Re: [Springframework-developer] Is it worth keeping BCEL around at all?

[Mark P. <Mar...@Co...>]

Hi,

I vote to get rid of BCEL as well.  It always seemed large to me.  The ASM
api indicates it supports attribute manipulation in the bytecode so I
should be able to port the bcel package to asm.   This feature bytecode
libraries might not be that important anyway since the default storage
mechanism for attributes will likely switch to side files instead of
putting it in the bytecode.
