---------------------------------------
Hi Mark,
Since Java 8 is just around the corner, we will have customers attempting to
use Java 8 with their Entity classes. And, they are bound to have issues...
:-) So, it's nice to allow our testcases to be built with a different class
version than what OpenJPA runtime is built with. We had originally put this in
due to the Java 6 / Java 7 requirement. We might as well leave it for the Java
7 / Java 8 requirement. Thanks.

> openjpa uses since some versions asm but in tomee for instance we use a shade
> (through the xbean one org.apache.xbean:xbean-asm-shaded to avoid
> classloading/version issues with webapps/applications.
> it can be nice if openjpa can provide us an issue to this because we really
> don't want to provide asm in our binaries.
> solutions can be to use the xbean shade, give us an interface to implement or
> to try several implementation (xbean shade, asm,...) by reflection
