BCEL @ apache
Hi,
Many months ago I asked Markus Dahm whether or not he would be interested in
BCEL (Byte Code Engineering tool) being a Jakarta project as I was using and
thought it a very cool package, and I believe Xalan uses it for their
compiler, but nothing resulted from the initial conversation.
Markus has approached me now stating that he would be interested in BCEL
becoming a Jakarta project so I thought I would see what others thought.
BCEL has many applications including compilers, analysis tools and who knows
what else.
Thoughts?

I agree, and would also like to see it on Jakarta. I do not have the
cycles to help w/ the move, however.

Are you back? I still can't solve that ant classloader problem.

A thousand pardons for posting the last one to general@. It's 5:50 am,
coffee just finished brewing, and I forgot this was a general@ thread with
replied to list.
Sorry again, all.

I belong to the mailing list and there is never that much traffic but I
think that's due to the completeness of the tool. As it is based on the
language spec it is pretty much finished as a tool. Markus can correct me if
I'm wrong. Maybe there are changes in Merlin that will need to be
accomodated, I don't know.
I think it is primarily Markus who works on it which is why he wants to
consider giving it to Apache. He won't have time to maintain it.

I don't think there is a rush, but I think BCEL is an amazingly powerful
tool with many possibilities. I don't think it would add a lot of overhead
as it is a very specialized tool and the mailing traffic is pretty minimal.
I would volunteer to help the move if it was decided to move it to jakarta.

I'm leaning towards being conservative and saying that we don't need another
project right now since we just added Lucene and moved Cactus to a TLP (top
level project).
