A statement from Remi defined the reason for my original question very
well.
the ASM packages are only
re-exported [1] for nashorn
Like the Nashorn folks I am building a language using the jvm for which it
would
be helpful if there was a standard api for bytecode writing. One which
kept up
with the movement of the jvm and was focused on the needs of language
writers. I
am jealous that these folks get toys that I only hear talks on.
While I understand the desire to hide the internals of Java from the users
of the
language, my preference would be for a way to open these internals for
those of
us more interested in targeting the jvm. Perhaps similar to how Nashorn
has
the exports enabled.

mark
p.s. Nice usage of Star Wars quote :)
