Look at phasing out cglib with javaassist [SPR-3279]

[spring-projects-issues]

Mike Youngstrom opened SPR-3279 and commented

Cglib appears to be a poorly maintained and dying project. It would be nice to replace it with a more actively maintained project like javaassist for library dependency reasons. Newer versions of asm are not compatibly with the asm included in cglib-nodep which can cause problems.

Spring already provides all the abstraction needed to replace cglib with javaassist. a system property can be used initially while the javaassist aop provider is tested and then perhaps later could replace cglib as the default. Just a thought.
