Maybe, the XML files and Maven wrapper files will follow. First, let us
find out if this breaks the build, maybe some tests are asserting on
"http:". But there, the replacement would also have taken place, so
probably it just works.

Trailing whitespaces are useless. Most of code-styles forbids them. Most of editors always trim them on save.
I propose to clean up project from trailing whitespaces in all java files at once.

StringBuffer is a legacy synchronized class. StringBuilder is a direct replacement to StringBuffer which generally have better performance.

There are two styles to convert a collection to an array: either using a pre-sized array (like c.toArray(new String[c.size()])) or using an empty array (like c.toArray(new String[0]).
In older Java versions using pre-sized array was recommended, as the reflection call which is necessary to create an array of proper size was quite slow. However since late updates of OpenJDK 6 this call was intrinsified, making the performance of the empty array version the same and sometimes even better, compared to the pre-sized version. Also passing pre-sized array is dangerous for a concurrent or synchronized collection as a data race is possible between the size and toArray call which may result in extra nulls at the end of the array, if the collection was concurrently shrunk during the operation.

Reports the copying of array contents to a collection where each element is added individually using a for loop. Such constructs may be replaced by a call to Collection.addAll(Arrays.asList()) or Collections.addAll().

Reports for loops which iterate over collections or arrays, and can be replaced with an enhanced for loop (i.e. the foreach iteration syntax).

The ANT targets in build.xml will still enable transformation of the packaging from org.aspectj.apache to org.apache for diffing with a new BCEL version, should one ever appear.
