So I found a issue that was closed:
http://code.google.com/p/lambdaj/issues/detail?id=49&can=1&q=org.objectweb.asm.Type . I wanted to see if any one could point out something obvious I was missing before I created a new (more detailed) issue or just requested that the existing one be reopened.
If you look in the code for net.sf.cglib.core.TypeUtils in the cglib-nodep (2.2 and 2.2.2) you will see that it imports org.objectweb.asm.Type. It was my understanding that the nodep package was supposed to internalize ASM and thus not require it as a dependency / cause conflicts with other ASM versions. As a result, if ASM is not included somewhere in the class path by other libraries / manually, then lamdaj will fail to create proxies because of a class not found exception.
Thoughts?
