Hello, I would like to include jasmin.jar into the main PyPy source tree. In this way, the only thing that a user would have to install to build and run PyPy-JVM is a recent JDK. Furthermore, it avoids the incompatibilities between different versions of Jasmin (such as the one installed by Debian). Looking at the license for Jasmin (reproduced below), it seems that this would require a notice such as the following to be added to PyPy's LICENSE file:
License for 'pypy/translator/jvm/src/jasmin.jar' ================================================
