Why is Coffi not used for bytecode generation?

["Stephen Cheng" <stephen.cheng@btinternet.com>]

Hello Gurus,

I have been going through the code, and I am wondering why Soot framework
creates class files through jasmine, and not directly through Coffi or some
other libraries like BCEL. It would appear that significant gain in
performance can be produced by bypassing jasmine.

I would appreciate if you could enlighten me to the philosophy behind the
current strategy.

Regards,
Stephen
