I asked this a while ago, and I'll ask again: the ASM FAQ [1] recommends
using the trick used by cglib-nodep of copying the particular version of
the ASM classes that your code requires into your own package and
bundling them in your JAR file. Is there any reason (legal or otherwise
[2]) why CXF couldn't do this? It would solve the dependency hell at a
stroke.
If the consensus is that it would be legal then I'm happy to try working
on a patch.
