-----------------------------------

Steve, I want to understand where you're coming from. Are you saying that it's Spring's responsibility to repackage their libraries, since they're a framework, while Hibernate doesn't have to since it's not? I think I understand the philosophical point, but as a practical matter, this would make life a lot easier for Spring users. What am I missing?

Also, what if using javassist isn't an option for a Hibernate user? (Company policy of Officially Approved open source, license problems, etc.)

> SpringFramework 2.0 uses ASM.JAR from ObjectWeb version 2.2.2.  However, Hibernate 3.2.0ga utilizes an "unknown" previous version of the ASM.JAR.  The issue is that the method signatures and classes have changed between the two versions.  Therefore, Hibernate 3.2.0ga won't run with the new ASM.JAR and Spring 2.0 won't run with the previous ASM.JAR.  Mushing the two JARs together in an attempt to get something going results in a NoSuchMethodError (which would make sense).
> Although this isn't a direct Hibernate3 bug, it does preclude stable use with Spring 2.0/
