Re: Alpha 2 release of ASM 6

Hi Remi,

Can the upcoming Alpha2 release of ASM 6 be used on Java 8? I.e. will
class files have version 52?

If that's doable, that'd be very practical to add module-info.class
descriptors to libraries, also when building them on Java 8 (by
assembling them via ASM instead of compiling them with javac).

The Maven plug-in I'm working on is already capable to do that (I'm
compiling ASM myself currently), it'd be great if it could be used on
Java 8.

Thanks,

--Gunnar
