ASM4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

ASM4 uses abstract classes instead of interfaces for visitors, e.g.

http://websvn.ow2.org/filedetails.php?repname=asm&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fasm%2Fsrc%2For
g%2Fobjectweb%2Fasm%2FMethodVisitor.java

May be it's to early but plz think about converting to ASM4...only a reminder 
yet.

Or don't use ASM base visitor classes? Doesn't look this important to use them 
- the ASM/SAX-style concept can also be established without the ASM dependency.

Why is this important? Because I would like to use ASM4 because of new JDK7 
features and cannot mix with dex2jar libs ;)

hi thx for comment and acceptance.

for me it would be enough to make dex-reader independant from ASM3.
I think you only use Label, Type, Opcode, AnnotationVisitor from ASM there and 
that wouldn't be necessary and adds a rather complex dependency.

These 4 classes (and often you only use minor parts for DEX) could be in the 
reader-package and be dex-specific.

i absolutely understand that ASM is needed for the java bytecode generation, 
but dex-reader in itself is a valueable component and you could improve 
reusability through removing the (minor) ASM dependency there - especially 
where the ASM guys continue to severe change the interfaces in each version ;)

thx for the great work!
