The BCEL-builder module

The contents of this directory are:

• This file
• build.xml -- an ant script
• patch.txt -- a diff patchfile

And pretty much nothing else. Well, then, what do you do with this directory? Well, the whole point is to generate bcel/bcel.jar in the lib package. To do so, first stick bcel-5.1-src.zip in this directory, then run ant. After much unzipping, patching, and compiling, you should get an appropriate bcel.jar file. Now put it in the appropriate place.

If there's something wrong with the bcel.jar in the lib project, well, then you've got some development to do. You'll need to know some more ant targets. But before anything, get that bcel-5.1-src.zip and stick it in this directory.

• ant unpack -- unpack the sources for the AspectJ-version of BCEL into the src subdirectory. Though you probably don't care, this invokes the following subtasks:
• ant extract -- extract the contents of bcel-5.1-src.zip into the bcel-5.1 directory.
• ant patch -- apply the patchfile patch.txt to the bcel-5.1/src directory, creating src.
• ant pack -- pack the sources for AspectJ's version of bcel back into a tiny little patchfile. This uses exec, and requires that you have diff somewhere on your path. Actually, it's much worse: it requires you have diff.exe somewhere on your path. I hate that I'm turning into a windows whore.
• ant clean -- get rid of everything extraneous in preparation for a checkin.
