Unable to compile the verifier using JDK1.4

           Summary: Unable to compile the verifier using JDK1.4
           Product: BCEL
           Version: 5.0RC1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Main
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

When compiling the verifier package of org.apache.bcel using JDK1.4 I get the 
following error:

<myroot>\org\apache\bcel\verifier\exc\AssertionViolatedException.java:111: The 
method java.lang.String getStackTrace() declared in class 
org.apache.bcel.verifier.exc.AssertionViolatedException cannot override the 
method of the same signature declared in class java.lang.Throwable.  They must 
have the same return type.
        public String getStackTrace(){
                      ^
Starting with JDK 1.4, the getStackTrace() returns a StackTraceElement[] 
instead of a String.
