Romain Manni-Bucau commented on OPENJPA-2171:
---------------------------------------------
the issue is mainly tomee uses it in common classloader of tomcat and any user
can need to provide a different version of asm (for a spring webapp for
instance). as this issue is common Geronimo shaded asm.
the goal of this issue is to simply the dependency of openjpa on objectweb asm
library.
if a user depends on asm it will need to bring asm.
Maybe i was not clear but the idea is simply to replace a dependency by another
one for openjpa so the classical dependencies mecanisms are not broken.
> asm should be optional

> openjpa uses since some versions asm but in tomee for instance we use a shade
> (through the xbean one org.apache.xbean:xbean-asm-shaded to avoid
> classloading/version issues with webapps/applications.
> it can be nice if openjpa can provide us an issue to this because we really
> don't want to provide asm in our binaries.
> solutions can be to use the xbean shade, give us an interface to implement or
> to try several implementation (xbean shade, asm,...) by reflection
