What really surprised me is that such a bcel selector has not already been
written.

Apache Commons BCEL™ – The BCEL
API<https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-bcel/manual/bcel-api.html>
commons.apache.org
The BCEL API. The BCEL API abstracts from the concrete circumstances of the
Java Virtual Machine and how to read and write binary Java class files.
Is there examples of codes of these custom selectors ?
Correcting the original genjar code proved to be < 50 lines changes
Writing this selector from scratch is quiet harder for me

All these IMHO are misguided in that they replace <jar> instead of just
providing a smarter BCEL-powered (or other) selector within <jar>.
Maybe I underestimate how easy that is perhaps though... --DD
