Class Construction Kit (1.0 Beta 5)

The Class Construction Kit is a tool for the visual creation or modification of Java class files. It is implemented using BCEL and Swing.
Note that this is a beta version which still contains quite a number of bugs.
Please send me a detailed description of how to produce the error if you find one. You can tell me also of course that you like it just the way it is ...
