I want to make sure I understand the state & various options here. AFAICT, the relevant issues are:
Issue 757 <https://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=757> -- Using Java8 lambdas makes Guice throw terrible error messages Issue 759 <https://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=759> -- Use ASM4.2 (or, if we want lambda support, 5.0_BETA) Please correct me where I'm wrong here -- 1) Switching to ASM4.1 or 4.2 by itself would just be a performance boost, but has no other practical gains. Switching to ASM 5.0 would fix make Guice work with Java8 lambdas. 2) Switching to a newer ASM requires a one-line change in CGLIB (as described in comment #2<https://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=759#c2>in issue 759). 3) If we want to drop the asm-util dependency, CGLIB also needs an additional patch as described in comment #3<https://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=759#c3> in issue 759. 4) Both proposed CGLIB patches will work with any of the following: ASM4.1, ASM4.2 & ASM5.0. 5) The only way to get Guice to *work* with Java8 lambdas is to use ASM5.0 BETA. If we instead switch to ASM4.1 or ASM4.2, that will improve the error message we see, but it won't let lambdas work. Does anyone have an ETA on when ASM5.0 will be non-beta?
