Simone Bordet commented on ARIES-1844:
--------------------------------------
FYI this issue is now blocking other projects that are trying to support JDK 11
and OSGi with `ServiceLoader` features.
Using ASM 7 won't break compatibility with Java 8.
I had a super-quick look at what it would take to move SPI Fly to be Java 11
compliant and it's not much.
Requires to update all dependencies to newer versions, requires to update to
ASM 7, requires to drop Java 5 compatibility since the oldest platform that you
can target now with Java 11 is Java 6, a bit of fiddling with OSGi manifests
regarding the ASM version, a bit of code changes to pass in `Opcodes.ASM7` to
ASM's `ClassReader` when needed.
Let me know if you need assistance.
