[jira] [Commented] (ARIES-817) Upgrade to asm 4 for java 7 support

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-817?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13194295#comment-13194295 ] 

Daniel Kulp commented on ARIES-817:
-----------------------------------


David,  do you know what issues it has with Java7?    CXF uses ASM 3 and it seems to work fine on Java7 for the limited use cases that it hits.   Just curious what we'd need to look out for.

> 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.
