java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/objectweb/asm/ClassVisitor

[EMan]

I am trying to upgrade to gwt 2.8.0-SNAPSHOT from 2.7.0.

I am getting this error.

I am using the gwt-maven-plugin 2.8.0-SNAPSHOT as well.

Any have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Eric

You need to put ASM 5.x on class path.

Ok.  Is this something that has changed between gwt 2.7 and 2.8?  Is there a reason it is not a dependency already? 

Thanks.
