upgrade jakarta-bcel ?

Hi,

At the moment we are using jakarta-bcel-20040329.jar . Is there any
reason not to upgrade to a more recent 5.0 or 5.1 ?

If nothing else this would remove another dependency on cvs.a.o, as
that's where the snapshot release is currently hosted.

Regards,
Jorg

Right i guess i should've checked that first.

Reading the thread, our best strategy is thus to wait for the next
release candidate and see if we can replace our current version with
this one.

Thanks for the feedback.

It depends, because the "default" xslt transformer is xalan and not 
xsltc [1].
But don't worry too much testing xsltc. IMHO, the changes in the newer 
bcel release allows a drop in replacement.

So I guess it's used in cached pipelines, and I guess the default
pipeline is cached, so I guess it was tested ;)

Thanks Ben.

FYI, in xalan, bcel is used for xsltc.

In case you or anybody else is interested, I downloaded
bcel-5.2rc1.zip, extracted bcel-5.2rc1.jar, ran:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=jakarta-bcel
-DartifactId=jakarta-bcel -Dversion=5.2rc1 -Dpackaging=jar

Rebuilt, and it compiled ok.  I also ran the webapp, and nothing
spurious happened, but I'm not sure where bcel is used, so I don't
know if that tested it or not.

That would be actually a good idea :-)

I would like to release 5.2 ASAP
...but I still need some feedback

Understood, I was pointing out that a newer release is on the horizon,
that it might better prepare cocoon for 5.2 when it does arrive, as
well as providing a testing ground for bcel.

Thanks for the link. This link points to the "Torsten site" in apache. I 
will not consider it an official release until it shows up in the bcel 
main site.

I guess Jorg is trying to solve maven2 dependencies hell. Using this 
newer release will be the same as the current one for his goal.

Antonio Gallardo.

With a little digging around, 5.2RC1 has recently been released:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.bcel.devel/1052

And they're looking for testers, perhaps it is still time to upgrade?

Moving to 5.0 or 5.1 means downgrade.
