The current plan is to use ASM long-term to generate classes at runtime. Now, it is possible that "something better will come along" (perhaps needed functionality will be provided by JSR-292 in the future) but we're not banking on this.
The EE team has also asked that we officially include ASM in the base distribution, so they can get rid of the seven copies of ASM that are floating around in Glassfish. My thinking was that the base module would have a private (non-exporting) dependency on ASM, so that even though the language runtime uses ASM, users only get it when they ask for it. While Jigsaw can handle circular dependencies it might be a bit odd for the base module to have a non-optional dependency on another module. Having asm potentially loaded by a different module class loader may also require consideration.
