<h1>The BCEL-builder module</h1>

<p> The contents of this directory are:
</p>

<ul>
  <li>This file</li>
  <li>build.xml -- an ant script </li>
  <li>patch.txt -- a diff patchfile</li>
</ul>

<p> 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
<strong>bcel-5.1-src.zip</strong> 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. </p>

<p> If there's something <em>wrong</em> 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
<strong>bcel-5.1-src.zip</strong> and stick it in this directory.
</p>

<ul>
  <li>ant unpack -- unpack the sources for the AspectJ-version of BCEL
  into the <strong>src</strong> subdirectory.  Though you probably
  don't care, this invokes the following subtasks: </li>

       <ul>
	 <li>ant extract -- extract the contents of bcel-5.1-src.zip
	 into the bcel-5.1 directory.</li>

	 <li>ant patch -- apply the patchfile patch.txt to the
	 <strong>bcel-5.1/src</strong> directory, creating
	 <strong>src</strong>.</li>
       </ul>

  <li>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. </li>

  <li>ant clean -- get rid of everything extraneous in preparation for
  a checkin.  </li>
</ul>
