A potential open issue is that existing user code might be expecting to process 'unknown' attributes, that are now coming in as first class annotations. Therefore that client code will fail until changes are made. I meant to look into this, to see if this was indeed true but haven't gotten to it yet. As long as we document this, i guess it's ok, although maybe folks will be surprised about this change in a point release, i don't know.

Just encouraging people to get involved..
As Simon already said, the resources to review patches are pretty limited, so it would be good the hear on how to suite Apache Harmony the best. What target date do you have in mind for the Harmony
release ?

I would certainly be happy to test a release candidcate.  Martin, I'm a
little confused - are you saying you think there's more work needed before a
release candidate could be considered, or just encouraging people to get
involved in general?

Matthew - I think the normal thing for Apache projects is to submit a patch via JIRA, although anyone else please correct me if that's not the case for
BCEL.

Hello all,

I'm interested in getting involved with BCEL, particularly if I can
help get 5.3 out.  I've checked out the head from svn, and have
noticed a few things that need fixing.  What's the best way I can
help?  Should I submit a patch?

(I'm also subscribed to the dev group.)

Kind regards,
Matthew

I am probabaly not the best person to answer this, since I never have
written any code for bcel.. If
you have any interest to get active on BCEL, that would I think be great

Hello,

I'm just wondering if there are any plans for a 5.3 release in the near future? I am working on Apache Harmony and currently using BCEL 5.2 to
develop pack200, but I would really like to upgrade so that I can use
the
Java 5 attribute classes that are missing in 5.2. However the preferred route in Harmony would be to take a released version if at all possible
(or
at least a release candidate). I noticed in the mail archive that there
was
talk of producing a release candidate in January or February of this
year,
but I can't see anything on the download page, unless I'm missing
something.
Thanks in advance,

Sian January
