             Summary: Investigate if JDK internal ASM can be used instead of external dependency
                 Key: POLYGENE-266
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/POLYGENE-266
             Project: Polygene
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Niclas Hedhman


rt.jar nowadays contains ASM, which should be possible to use instead of ASM as an external dependency. That would remove "the last" dependency from Polygene Core (I assume java.json will be part of Java 9)

Initial test shows that there is no problem per se, but that build tooling will try to hide these rt.jar classes. Not sure if it is Gradle or javac that does this, and whether there is a way to cicrumvent it.
