Hi all, hopefully the final RC for releasing Apache Commons BCEL 6.0 :-) Changes since RC7:

These are considered OK for the reasons stated below. These exceptions are also noted in the Changes and Release Notes. Errors reported: - methods added to org.apache.bcel.classfile.Visitor interface: OK because that does not affect binary compatibility. - Removed java.io.Serializable from all classes: OK, because we don't expect anybody to rely on serialization for BCEL classes - Return type of method 'public java.lang.Object getElementAt(int)' has been changed to java.lang.String in class org.apache.bcel.verifier.VerifierFactoryListModel: OK, because this class is part of an UI application and for this reason should only used by Swing.
