Bug#623950: RFP: asm4 -- Java bytecode manipulation framework



Hello,

I've been looking to packaging this for the past few days so that LWJGL can be updated, and I think I've run into a problem. When simply copying the "debian/" directory from 'asm3' and renaming the packages (and other things) from 'libasm3' to 'libasm4', it fails to compile with this error:

BUILD FAILED
/tmp/buildd/asm4-4.0/build.xml:539: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/tmp/buildd/asm4-4.0/test/build.xml:233: taskdef class com.sun.tdk.signaturetest.ant.ATest cannot be found
 using the classloader AntClassLoader[]

After some investigating, I found that it needs some JAR file called "sigtest.jar", which I've found. However, I know that having libraries inside other libraries (pre-compiled ones, that is) is frowned upon (well, as far as I know they are), which I create an ITP for "sigtest"? That'll allow me to have a Build-Dependency on it, and then I can avoid including a pre-built JAR in the program.

So, should I create an ITP for "sigtest" in order to get this package created?

Sincerely,
Aditya Vaidya
