Re: locate branch position in the source line

Locations are generated by the javac compiler and more specifically are 
defined in the java class file format.
See:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/vmspec/2nd-edition/html/ClassFile.doc.html#22856

The current class file format only specifies line numbers not columns within 
lines, so BCEL can't help you there.
Your only choice is to build or use a decompiler, or at least the logic from 
one, and figure the section through that knowledge.
