I would prefer this because I assume it is small and lightweight and does not 
have any overhead but poking through CGLIB looks like it does. 

However it is up to you. If you don't want to support the code or can't get it 
into BCEL or whatever then CGILIB may be an option. However if we go that 
path I would prefer that CGILIB only got used under jdk1.2 and native proxys 
got used in jdk1.3+

I think so (at least it has the same authors).

good question.

BCEL doesn't have a community and never has (even pre-Apache days). It came to 
Apache ready made and of high enough quality that no one really needs to 
change it much. Theres a lot of users but thats about it.
