Description

JPOX enhancer has two internal ClassEnhancers - BCEL and ASM. The original uses BCEL. Unfortunately BCEL is not well maintained and has limited support for JDK1.5+ features. ASM provides the same functionality in a simpler form and its enhancement process is noticeably faster. The JDO2 TCK should change across to use the JPOX ASM enhancer for class enhancement and implementation generation (persistent interfaces, and persistent abstract classes)
