Dependencies

ASM 4.0

This software depends on the ASM bytecode library (v 4.0).

If you don't have ASM version 4.0 installed in your ~/.m2 directory you'll want to install it. There is a copy in the libs directory, to install it simply do the following:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=libs/asm-debug-all-4.0.jar -DgroupId=asm -DartifactId=asm-all -Dversion=4.0 -Dpackaging=jar

After which you'll see Maven do some magic resulting in the following:

/home/you/.m2/repository/asm/asm-all/4.0/asm-all-4.0.jar
/home/you/.m2/repository/asm/asm-all/4.0/asm-all-4.0.jar.lastUpdated
/home/you/.m2/repository/asm/asm-all/4.0/asm-all-4.0.pom
/home/you/.m2/repository/asm/asm-all/4.0/asm-all-4.0.pom.lastUpdated

Java 7 (1.7.x)

This library has been ported to Java 7. It's now "Write once, run on JDK7 only."
