Mark Struberg edited comment on OPENJPA-2171 at 10/11/13 8:10 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------------ great, txs! I I think it helps to know that xbean-asm4-shaded is nothing else than the standard ASM jar but with it's packages shaded to a unique package name per major version (as those contain binary backward incompatibilities). It does not have any runtime dependency. Not to a geronimo project nor to anything else. was (Author: struberg): great, txs!
