[infinispan-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (IPROTO-124) Remove javassit code generation and replace it with ByteBuddy or Gizmo

Remove javassit code generation and replace it with ByteBuddy or Gizmo ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: IPROTO-124 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/IPROTO-124 Project: Infinispan ProtoStream Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Nistor Adrian Priority: Major Fix For: 4.4.0.Final Javassist is not dead yet but it is just minimally maintained and does not seem to have a great future. bytecode level support for latest released jdk is usually added quite late but source level support is never added. At source level it is still Java 1.4 compatible. We need a high level java bytecode library to replace it, and also play well in the Quarkus ecosystem. ByteBuddy and Gizmo seem to be the right candidates.
