What is the earliest JDK required to use ASM?
The org.objectweb.asm package should work with JDK 1.1, or even with JDK 1.0 if Type is not used. Indeed, this package only requires the following JDK classes and methods: • in java.io: InputStream, IOException (only in two constructors of ClassReader) • in java.lang.reflect: Method (only in Type) • in java.lang: • Object, String, StringBuffer • Long, Double, Float, Void, Byte, Boolean … • System.arraycopy • ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader, ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream (only in one constructor of ClassReader) The asm.util and asm.tree packages require JDK 1.2, since they use the List interface and the ArrayList class.
