That is the one. Perhaps i mistated, there certainly was talk of putting 
that on the web site, but perhaps it never was.

BCEL will continue to be supported; myself, Torsten, and a few others fix 
bugs, etc, and will probably move forward with 1.5 support after the 5.2 
release is done. Like all open source projects, whether or not BCEL dies 
out, depends on whether folks show up to work on it. I intend to do what i 
can so that doesn't happen, and perhaps others will as well, but as has been 
said before, 'the proof is in the puddin'. We shall see.
