Description

Consider:
-------
import org.apache.bcel.*;
import org.apache.bcel.classfile.*;
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
JavaClass a = Repository.lookupClass("Test");
System.out.println(a.instanceOf(Repository.lookupClass("java.lang.Object")));
}
}
-------
This fine program tells us "false", i.e. "Test" is not derived from
"java.lang.Object". sigh
