Test Classes that use the ASM Library:

The goal is to convert the following the tests to use the ClassFile API and remove dependency from ASM:

test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/finalStatic/FinalStatic.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/verifier/OverriderMsg.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/verifier/TestANewArray.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/verifier/TestMultiANewArray.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/ConstantPool/BadMethodHandles.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/ConstantPool/IntfMethod.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/invokedynamic/BootstrapMethodErrorTest.java
test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/StackTrace/LargeClassTest.java

It is not in hotspot interest to spend engineer hours on migrating away from a frozen version of ASM. The other version-sensitive parsing usages will be migrated to ClassFile API in a separate issue.
