Hi,
more then 10 years have passed since we've released BCEL 5.2. Users are
waiting for us to release a new version capable of handling Java 6, 7 and 8
byte code. There have already been 4 release candidates for BCEL 6.0 but
they have not made it for various reasons. Most importantly BC has been
broken. Package and Maven coordinates have been changed according to our
release guidelines. However our users have asked us to provide a binary
compatible release and here we are...
I'd like to call a vote for releasing Apache Commons BCEL 6.0 based on RC5.
BCEL 6.0 RC1 is available for review here:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/bcel (rev 14039)
The tag is here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/bcel/tags/BCEL_6_0_RC5 (rev
1749058)
Maven artifacts are here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-1177/org/apache/bcel/bcel/6.0/
These are the Maven artifacts and their hashes:
bcel-6.0-javadoc.jar
(SHA1: 79b5fd315f5f949580268e55c0baa85e18df4740)
bcel-6.0-sources.jar
(SHA1: f4ab6e682465471084e601c49e03a1385c610343)
bcel-6.0-test-sources.jar
(SHA1: 9aabf73fd9680336000f54a29fc234eaf474fc85)
bcel-6.0-tests.jar
(SHA1: f34db9121dd7b2dd198754416d29258a96549789)
bcel-6.0.jar
(SHA1: e6546a05530e8ed64b07cb917a8dca7912a16404)
bcel-6.0.pom
(SHA1: 76c9509859b13c74ff082e489b247708c48e59cb)
I have tested this with Java 7 and 8 using Maven 3.3.9 on Mac OS 10.11.5.
Details of changes since 5.2 are in the release notes:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/bcel/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
http://home.apache.org/~britter/commons/bcel/6.0-RC5/changes-report.html
Site:
http://home.apache.org/~britter/commons/bcel/6.0-RC5/
(note some *relative* links are broken and the 6.0 directories are not yet
created - these will be OK once the site is deployed)
Clirr Report (compared to 5.2):
http://home.apache.org/~britter/commons/bcel/6.0-RC5/clirr-report.html
Note that Clirr reports several errors. These have been discussed on the ML
already and I uploaded the site a while ago giving everybody the
opportunity to raise objections against these changes. These changes are
also explicitly noted in the Release notes.
Furthermore java.io.Serializable has been dropped from all BCEL classes. An
extended Clirr report including this change can be reviewed here:
http://home.apache.org/~britter/commons/bcel/6.0-RC5/bcel5-bcel6-clirr-report.html
We don't consider this to be a problem because we don't see a reason for
users to serialize BCEL classes.
RAT Report:
http://home.apache.org/~britter/commons/bcel/6.0-RC5/rat-report.html
KEYS:
https://www.apache.org/dist/commons/KEYS
Please review the release candidate and vote.
This vote will close no sooner that 72 hours from now,
i.e. sometime after 17:00 CEST 21-June 2016
[ ] +1 Release these artifacts
[ ] +0 OK, but...
[ ] -0 OK, but really should fix...
[ ] -1 I oppose this release because...
Thanks!
Benedikt
