           Summary: Fields in Annotations and AnnotationEntry are private,
                    should be protected
           Product: BCEL
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


I am using the new annotation support in the BCEL trunk to write a utility for processing custom 
annotations. This required extending the Annotations and AnnotationEntry classes, and the subclasses I 
created needed to access the fields in the superclasses. Unfortunately, this wasn't possible because 
these fields have private access. They should instead have protected access.
