Version 4.0.0 requires java 9 about remap HOT 5 CLOSED

This is a transitive dependency:

ReMap
\--- cglib:cglib:3.2.6
     +--- org.ow2.asm:asm:6.0

I do not know if the org.ow2.asm:asm:6.0 dependency could be workarounded since ReMap relies on cglib. Can you provide more information what's the problem with the Java 9 format?

An official requirement does not exists, but we want to support Java 9 to be able to migrate our systems to Java 9. The only issue related to Java 9 was a request to provide a stable Java 9 module name.

We have older version of ProGuard that does not support Java 9 format

from remap.

How about upgrading ProGuard? ;-)

If thats not suitable for you, you can try to exclude the ASM library and include org.ow2.asm:asm:5.2 instead. ASM 5.3 is in Java 8 format and ReMap seems to work with ASM 5.2, at least all the tests are ok (no guarantees).

If you are using gradle try

  compile('com.remondis:remap:4.0.0') {
    exclude group: 'org.ow2', module: 'asm'
  }
  compile "org.ow2.asm:asm:5.2"

from remap.

yeah, upgrading the ProGuard is the right way to go. Thanks for the workaround I will try it until we can upgrade ProGuard

from remap.

When asm jar is excluded from maven dependencies there is an exception when deploying the war to tomcat, so instead I excluded asm jar from proguard processing in proguard maven plugin and everything works fine. Thanks for the help.
