+    (description "The Byte Code Engineering Library (Apache Commons BCEL) is
+intended to give users a convenient way to analyze, create, and
+manipulate (binary) Java class files.  Classes are represented by objects
+which contain all the symbolic information of the given class: methods, fields
+and byte code instructions, in particular.
+
+Such objects can be read from an existing file, be transformed by a
+program (e.g. a class loader at run-time) and written to a file again.  An
+even more interesting application is the creation of classes from scratch at
+run-time.  The @dfn{Byte Code Engineering Library} (BCEL) may be also useful
+if you want to learn about the @dfn{Java Virtual Machine} (JVM) and the format
+of Java @code{.class} files.")
