> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BCEL-82
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-82
> Project: Commons BCEL
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 5.2
> Reporter: Alex Kinneer
> Assignee: Apache Commons Developers
> Priority: Minor
>
> At least two methods now declare checked exceptions that did not previously;
> there may be others:
> org.apache.bcel.generic.ObjectType.subclassOf(ObjectType)
> org.apache.bcel.generic.ReferenceType.getFirstCommonSuperclass(ReferenceType)
> --> Both now declare ClassNotFoundException
> This of course causes a compile-time error in existing code that does not
> provide (inadvertent) exception handling around these methods.
> Suggest revising release notes or remapping these exceptions to some type of
> RuntimeException.
