I'm hoping to get findbugs [1] packaged up for Fedora, as it's been a darn useful tool for me in the past. An asm3 package is hopefully on its way, and I've got the last 2 other prerequisites for it submitted [2][3]. However, I have discovered that findbugs depends on a modified (by the findbugs team) version of bcel 5.2. The modifications will not be submitted upstream [4]. We currently ship bcel 5.1. Is this a problem? Can I ship the modified bcel 5.2 JAR with findbugs, with a suitably modified name (perhaps findbugs-bcel.jar)?

Typical java f-up

Yes

Please try very hard to get findbugs upstream to merge @bcel first. (Or ask bcel upstream to look at findbugs bcel to check if they can not pull stuff)
Do remind them that when java 1.7 with 277 ships everyong will be asking for them to use the system bcel, not just Linux people.

Thanks for the response, Nicolas. I'll see what I can do.
