> I think it would be more helpful if JavaClass.dump(*OutputStream)
> didnt call close as the caller may not be finished with the stream.
> Only for JavaClass.dump(File) does BCEL "own" the OutputStream.
> It also looks like the caller should provide an extra finally {... os.close() }
> as JavaClass.dump may not close the stream in the event of an error.
> For a concrete example: When writing a JAR using JarOutputStream 
> the stream shouldnt be closed till multiple classes have been written. 
> So the real stream has to be wrapped with a Filter/Proxy that ignores close.
> This problem also appears for ClassParser.
> Many thanks for your excellent code.
