bcel in xalan

[Torsten Curdt <tc...@vafer.org>]

Hi, there!

Over at Cocoon we are currently experimenting with BCEL.
It turned out that our Xalan jar already *includes*
BCEL.

Do you guys use a modified version of BCEL or why is
it included in the jar?

XSLTC without dependencies? That sounds good:)

Thanks for the pointer

 We are using version 5.0 of BCEL (unmodified). It should run with any
of the more recent versions, but we obviously haven't done any testing.
BTW, in the source tree, there are different targets to build Xalan with
and without XSLTC, and also XSLTC with and without its dependencies.

 Hope this helps.

Can someone please give a statement whether the usual
BCEL distribution would do?

Well, sure - but *if* it's no special version of BCEL
why is it included inside the Xalan jar? I'd exspect
only Xalan code in there.

A soon as you have an application that used Xalan and
BCEL you'll get classpath clashes.

I'd prefer to see the use of XSLTC *depend* on the a
BCEL jar. But it should not be part of the Xalan jar.

What do you guys think?

BCEL is used by the XSLTC mode's code generation.
