The situation is basically that BCEL was one of the original designs for this sort of thing. It did a good job in its day, but the ASM framework is a more modern design, and it shows. Dave and a few others have done a great job fixing the most important BCEL issues and preparing for a new release, in order to support tools that currently use BCEL. However adding 1.5 support to BCEL's existing design is going to be quite a big job. I'm not sure whether it's worth doing, or whether it's even possible (Dave and others may have a better idea about that than me). As ASM uses a BSD license, has an excellent design, has an active development pool, and already supports java 1.5 it would be *my* choice for a new project.
