[jira] [Created] (ARIES-1186) Upgrade to ASM 5 for Java 8 support

Harald Wellmann created ARIES-1186:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Upgrade to ASM 5 for Java 8 support
                 Key: ARIES-1186
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-1186
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Proxy
    Affects Versions: proxy-impl-1.0.2
            Reporter: Harald Wellmann
            Priority: Critical


Aries Proxy does not work under Java 8, since it depends on ASM 4 which does not support Java 8.

This is currently a blocker for working with Karaf 3.0.1 under Java 8. (Karaf contains Aries Proxy Impl 1.0.2).

Upgrading to ASM 5.0.2 requires changing a few {{super()}} calls in Aries subclasses of ASM classes.

I tried a local build of Aries Proxy Impl 1.0.3-SNAPSHOT with these changes, and the result seems to be ok for Karaf.

The larger part of the issue on Aries side is the dependency on a prehistoric version of Pax Exam which depends on Pax Runner (with additional configuration tweaks from Aries) which does not support Java 8 either, so I haven't been able to run the Proxy integration tests.
