  Description     : Java Virtual Machine bytecode manipulation framework

The goal of the serp bytecode framework is to tap the full
power of bytecode modification while lowering its associated
costs.

The framework provides a set of high-level APIs for
manipulating all aspects of bytecode, from large-scale
structures like class member fields to the individual
instructions that comprise the code of methods.

While in order to perform any advanced manipulation, some
understanding of the class file format and especially of the
JVM instruction set is necessary, the framework makes it as
easy as possible to enter the world of bytecode development.

This package is needed to package OpenJPA library, which
in turn, it is needed to package Spring Framework 3.0.
