DO NOT REPLY [Bug 48320] New: org.apache.bcel.classfile.JavaClass.getSuperclassName() is broken for java.lang.Object

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48320

           Summary: org.apache.bcel.classfile.JavaClass.getSuperclassName(
                    ) is broken for java.lang.Object
           Product: BCEL
           Version: 5.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


I think that following expression should return a special value (e.g. null) or
throw an Exception:

org.apache.bcel.util.SyntheticRepository.getInstance().loadClass("java.lang.Object").getSuperclassName()

However, it simply returns "java.lang.Object". I think that this behaviour
should be corrected or documented. The http://jakarta.apache.org/bcel/apidocs/
doesn't contain any information about it.
