[BCEL] anyone working on BCEL ?

Is anyone working on - or wanting to work on - BCEL at present?

I know that Findbugs are keen to get away from using their patched version.

I can do some tidying up of test cases and basic warnings if that would help.

There seem to have been a lot of fixes since 5.2, so it would be good
to get a new release out.

I've done a bit of tidying up of licences and a few Eclipse warnings etc.

Unfortunately the code is infested with tabs.
I've not done anything about that yet, because it's only cosmetic, and
would make older patches (if there are any) harder to apply.

Also unit tests - there don't seem to be many for such a large codebase.

The test cases already require Java 1.5, but the main code currently
requires only Java 1.4.
Probably should consider updating that to 1.5 at some point. It will
require a good deal of work to fix all the raw types etc., but doing
that should make the code safer.

Another item to consider at some point is whether to try and make the
code thread-safe.

Patch applying time is slowly approaching for me. But that's about it.

Well, we talked years ago. More than happy to accept patches from
them. IIRC last them they said they are too specific though ...so. Up
to them. But it would be great to work this out. A lot of wasted
effort otherwise.

All contributions are welcome :)

I think the one thing *really* missing for a new release are people testing it.
Big changes since last release.

Try the Jakarta dev list. BCEL isn't a commons component.
