Classes getting smaller

Hi all,
Sorry if this has come up before - I'm new to BCEL and
searched the 
archives but couldn't find an answer to this. I've been
trying to 
instrument classes in rt.jar and have noticed that merely
running those 
classes through BCEL (i.e. loading the class file into BCEL
then writing 
the class file back again) produces smaller class files than
the 
originals in many cases, but running javap over them
produces the same 
result and both seem to behave in the same way. Any ideas
what was in 
the original class files that is seemingly stripped by BCEL?
So far I've 
only encountered this with classes in rt.jar, not other
libraries.

Best wishes,
Marc Hull (mfh02doc.ic.ac.uk)
