Description

When the latest (3.0.7) Byteman project pom dependency on the ASM library is upgraded from 5.0.3 to 6.0_ALPHA building of Byteman's maven rulechceck plugin fails. If the version is reverted to 5.0.3 the plugin builds without problem.

Note that although this upgrade is needed in order to allow Byteman to transform JDK9 class files no such files need to be present in the build for the problme to manifest. The failure occurs when building Byteman with JDK7, JDK8 or JDK9. The ASM library and Byteman source do not use features beyond JDK6. The Byteman build is configured with source and target level 1.6 The ASM library has source and target 1.4.
