The cause of the problem is described here [0]. I tried it out and downgraded asm dependency to 3.3.2 in d/maven.rules. After reverting core/src/com/google/inject/internal/util/LineNumbers.java to previous revision (it seems to be the only class depending on asm-4 functionality), I was able to build both sisu-guice and maven. Would that kind of solution be acceptable?
