Regarding the GSOC project idea - Jakarta BCEL refactoring to support future JDK versions
Hi all,
The above project idea was on the last years list on the apache wiki.
http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2006
I am quite new to the apache bcel project, but I have some experience
in Java byte codes and related stuff. Therefore I would like to know
whether this project is available in this year.
If you have any more ideas on this project, please let me know. I
would like to start contributing to the apache bcel project.

Well, that's usually where we gather ideas. Feel free to add it there
yourself. But that's not the official submission.
cheers

Torsten,
I would like to take on this project and I will come up with a good
proposal. Will you post the project idea at
http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2007 or is there another
way ?
Thanks.

I went through your blog and the links you have sent, and i do
understand your position. I have few experiences on open source
software development ( please have a look at my blog at
http://sameeramj.wordpress.com for an overview ), but still quite a
newbie.

We/You need to come up with something quickly though. You are aware of
the deadlines? This is the place for the proposal atm:
http://wiki.apache.org/general/SummerOfCode2007
I would also like you to read this
http://vafer.org/blog/20060908094521
The fact that you used this list to get in contact is a good sign :)

IIRC there was already a patch for (some) 1.6 stuff.
Please be as specific as possible in your proposal. So having a good
overview of what to do *before* the March 24th
http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=60325&topic=10729
is essential!! "I wanna add 1.6 support" is not good enough.
The more you show knowledge about what you are planing to do,
the more likely you project gets accepted. At least that's my
experience.
cheers

This is great. This will be a useful project, because people are
starting to move to Java 1.6.
Well... I need to study a bit on the class file format changes in Java
1.6 while getting familiar with the bcel and IMHO, this will be good
starting point for me to start contributing to the bcel project.
Thanks

Hey Sameera,
Well, last year wasn't such a great success but I would be willing to
mentor again for this. ...if it gets accepted a second year in the
row. (Your proposal better be good!) If you want to give it a show I
am more than happy to help.
I haven't really had the time to test it - but it seems 1.5 support
is more or less there.
So support for 1.6 (with testcases) would be a viable project.
Let me know what you think
cheers
