I am sponsoring this familiarity case for Vivek Titarmare. It requests minor
binding and times out 02/04/2009. This Fast Track represents a component of
LSARC 2008/748 - Drools.
The FOSS checklist and javadoc are in the case directory.

2. Project Summary
2.1 Project Description
ASM is an all purpose Java bytecode manipulation and analysis
framework. It can be used to modify existing classes or dynamically generate
classes, directly in binary form.
4. Technical Description:
The ASM framework is organized around the ClassVisitor, FieldVisitor
and MethodVisitor interfaces, which allow one to visit the fields and methods
of a class, including the bytecode instructions of each method.
In addition to these main interfaces, ASM provides a ClassReader class,
that can parse an existing class and make a given visitor visit it. ASM also
provides a ClassWriter class, which is a visitor that generates Java class
files.
In order to generate a class from scratch, only the ClassWriter class
is necessary. Indeed, in order to generate a class, one must just call its
visitXXX methods with the appropriate arguments to generate the desired fields
and methods.
In order to modify existing classes, one must use a ClassReader class
to analyze the original class, a class modifier, and a ClassWriter to construct
the modified class. The class modifier is just a ClassVisitor that delegates
most of the work to another ClassVisitor, but that sometimes changes some
parameter values, or call additional methods, in order to implement the desired
modification process. In order to make it easier to implement such class
modifiers, ASM provides the ClassAdapter and MethodAdapter classes, which
implement the ClassVisitor and MethodVisitor interfaces by delegating all work
to other visitors.
