ASM 4.0 is generally compatibile with Java 7 classfiles, particularly including 'invokedynamic' instructions. This is important when considering that Spring's component-scanning support is internally ASM-based and it is increasingly likely that component classes having invokedynamic instructions may be encountered and read by ASM. This upgrade, then, is primarily preventive in nature. Changes include: - upgrade from ASM 2.2.3 to ASM 4.0 - adapt to ASM API changes as necessary throughout spring-core, resulting in no impact to the public Spring API. - remove dedicated spring-asm module - use new :spring-core:asmRepackJar task to repackage org.objectweb.asm => org.springframework.asm as per usual and write repackaged classes directly into spring-core jar The choice to eliminate the spring-asm module altogether and instead inline the repackaged classes directly into spring-core is first to eliminate an otherwise unnecessary second jar. spring-core has a non-optional dependency on spring-asm meaning it is always on the application classpath. This change simplifies that situation by consoliding two jars into one. The second reason for this choice is in anticipation of upgrading CGLIB to version 3 and inlining it into spring-core as well. See subsequent commit for details. Issue: SPR-9669 |
