Description

Interface Summary

AttributeReader	Unknown (non-standard) attributes may be read via user-defined factory objects that can be registered with the Attribute.addAttributeReader method.
ConstantObject	This interface denotes those constants that have a "natural" value, such as ConstantLong, ConstantString, etc..
Node	Denote class to have an accept method();
Visitor	Interface to make use of the Visitor pattern programming style.

Class Summary

AccessFlags	Super class for all objects that have modifiers like private, final, ...
Attribute	Abstract super class for Attribute objects.
ClassParser	Wrapper class that parses a given Java .class file.
Code	This class represents a chunk of Java byte code contained in a method.
CodeException	This class represents an entry in the exception table of the Code attribute and is used only there.
Constant	Abstract superclass for classes to represent the different constant types in the constant pool of a class file.
ConstantClass	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to a (external) class.
ConstantCP	Abstract super class for Fieldref and Methodref constants.
ConstantDouble	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to a Double object.
ConstantFieldref	This class represents a constant pool reference to a field.
ConstantFloat	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to a float object.
ConstantInteger	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to an int object.
ConstantInterfaceMethodref	This class represents a constant pool reference to an interface method.
ConstantLong	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to a long object.
ConstantMethodref	This class represents a constant pool reference to a method.
ConstantNameAndType	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to the name and signature of a field or method.
ConstantPool	This class represents the constant pool, i.e., a table of constants, of a parsed classfile.
ConstantString	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to a String object.
ConstantUtf8	This class is derived from the abstract Constant class and represents a reference to a Utf8 encoded string.
ConstantValue	This class is derived from Attribute and represents a constant value, i.e., a default value for initializing a class field.
Deprecated	This class is derived from Attribute and denotes that this is a deprecated method.
DescendingVisitor	Traverses a JavaClass with another Visitor object 'piggy-backed' that is applied to all components of a JavaClass object.
EmptyVisitor	Visitor with empty method bodies, can be extended and used in conjunction with the DescendingVisitor class, e.g.
ExceptionTable	This class represents the table of exceptions that are thrown by a method.
Field	This class represents the field info structure, i.e., the representation for a variable in the class.
FieldOrMethod	Abstract super class for fields and methods.
InnerClass	This class represents a inner class attribute, i.e., the class indices of the inner and outer classes, the name and the attributes of the inner class.
InnerClasses	This class is derived from Attribute and denotes that this class is an Inner class of another.
JavaClass	Represents a Java class, i.e., the data structures, constant pool, fields, methods and commands contained in a Java .class file.
LineNumber	This class represents a (PC offset, line number) pair, i.e., a line number in the source that corresponds to a relative address in the byte code.
LineNumberTable	This class represents a table of line numbers for debugging purposes.
LocalVariable	This class represents a local variable within a method.
LocalVariableTable	This class represents colection of local variables in a method.
Method	This class represents the method info structure, i.e., the representation for a method in the class.
PMGClass	This class is derived from Attribute and represents a reference to a PMG attribute.
Signature	This class is derived from Attribute and represents a reference to a GJ attribute.
SourceFile	This class is derived from Attribute and represents a reference to the source file of this class.
StackMap	This class represents a stack map attribute used for preverification of Java classes for the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME).
StackMapEntry	This class represents a stack map entry recording the types of local variables and the the of stack items at a given byte code offset.
StackMapType	This class represents the type of a local variable or item on stack used in the StackMap entries.
Synthetic	This class is derived from Attribute and declares this class as `synthetic', i.e., it needs special handling.
Unknown	This class represents a reference to an unknown (i.e., application-specific) attribute of a class.
Utility	Utility functions that do not really belong to any class in particular.

Exception Summary

ClassFormatException

Thrown when the BCEL attempts to read a class file and determines that the file is malformed or otherwise cannot be interpreted as a class file.
