> I'm using the org.apache.bcel.Repository class to do class hierarchy tests
> (finding out if one class is an instance of another, etc.)  My program uses
> Repository.addClass() to add all of the classes in an analyzed application to
> the repository.  Some of the classes in the analyzed application extend or
> implement types in external jar files: for example, java.io.Serializable in the
> rt.jar from the JDK.
> The problem, as far as I can tell, is that
> org.apache.bcel.classfile.JavaClass.getInterfaces() calls loadClass() on its
> internal org.apache.bcel.util.Repository object to convert interface references
> to the JavaClass objects for those interfaces.  As implemented in
> SyntheticRepository, the loadClass() method ignores all currently loaded
> classes.  Because the application classes are not part of the runtime CLASSPATH,
> they are reported as missing.
> I will attach a stack trace showing the problem to this bug report.  Note that
> the class reported as missing (edu.umd.cs.pugh.visitclass.Constants2) is in the
> repository.
> One thing that seems confusing to me is that the org.apache.bcel.util.Repository
> class does not have a method which looks in both the internal cache to find a
> class, and if that fails tries to load the class from an external source.
