10,11 support

   That would be good!
   
   But are the different use cases for ASM in Maven sufficiently similar to do 
so? Probably stating the obvious, but creating any ASM-like visitor pattern on 
top of ASM is merely moving the problem on; and all the analysis that is quite 
correct of ASM would apply to the Maven shared code also; i.e. we wouldn't want 
hard-to-debug errors due to silently ignoring incompatible changes. So are we 
talking about literally moving all the code and then those ASM-related aspects 
of the affected maven plugins are done in a shared library, even if they are 
very specific use cases?
   
   I suppose that would be OK. The uses of ASM in Maven plugin tools, would be 
mojo annotation analysis and use of an ASM remapper. In plexus-languages, ASM 
is used to read module-info.java. These are already quite specific use cases in 
shared utility projects.
   
   How do we enumerate all other cases for official maven plugins?
