I see that there is an ASMDEX project, this is probably the easiest option to get plastic working on dalvik
http://asm.ow2.org/doc/tutorial-asmdex.html You must be note that the tapestry build includes a repackaged copy of the ASM libraries https://github.com/apache/tapestry-5/tree/master/plastic/src/external/java/org/apache/tapestry5/internal/plastic/asm I think that the only difference is the package name so that tapestry's version of ASM does not clash with hibernate etc. Best to check with the tapestry team if you plan to go down this route. Good luck!
