Where you discuss "capturing of package names are done in BinaryIndexes" you list a few locations, where type references are found, but the implementation doesn't actually care. It simply reads all entries of the constant pool. Otherwise we would be missing a lot of type references! I believe the implementation more than the description :) or am I missing anything? --Stephan.herrmann.berlin.de (talk) 16:15, 29 March 2021 (EDT)
"Extract package names from all none * imports" - why treat wildcard imports differently? They, too, contain the full package part of each qualified name. --Stephan.herrmann.berlin.de (talk) 16:18, 29 March 2021 (EDT)
