--------------------------------------------

Aries modules now use ASM5 (for Java8 support).

> asm 3 generates java 7 incompatible classes.  We need to upgrade to asm 4 to be able to support running on java 7.  There are a few simple code changes needed in the proxy module, and a couple nasty workarounds for newly final methods and private fields.  There is also a lot of work in integration tests and pom versions to make everything else work.
> I plan to add patches here as I proceed and when everything works I'll think about committing.
