The main reason we use a "fixed" asm version is the habit of asm
      in the past dropping "EXPERMENTAL" constants for newer java
      versions
      and thus code that we might compile against asm 9.x wont run with
      asm 9.x+1 anymore
      so if we use a strict range we dont have to pay extra extra
      attention about the (NOT)use of the constants that can be deleted
      later
    
    
      
      Jonah,
      I suspect it's okay, but it's definitely a bit confusing.  
      
      I believe the eclipse/plugins/org.objectweb.asm_9.3.0.jar is
        present because it hasn't been garbage collected yet.  As your
        console indicates, only the Orbit version is resolved and the
        About dialog shows that too:
      
      
      We see here too that the direct-from-maven bundles generally
        have poor provider/name information.
      
      These are the org.objectweb.asm.* bundles in the latest
        2022-06/202205061000, i.e., a bunch of duplicate 9.2.0 versions,
        but for 9.3.0, only the Orbit version of org.objectweb.asm along
        with the platform's version of org.objectweb.asm.tree.
      
      
      Why are these all there in the first place?  
      
      This view shows each duplicate org.objectweb.asm.* with nested
        capabilities filtered to those to which a requirement is
        resolved that is exclusively resolved only to that specific IU's
        capability.
      
      So we can see that org.objectweb.asm.tree is present only
        because PDE requires it.  We can see that Xtext and Platform
        require the 9.3 version and while the Eclipse does not preclude
        a 9.4 version, Xtext's bundle requirements do exclude 9.4.  I
        wonder if there is a good reason for to exclude 9.4?
      
      We can also see that ECF, EclEmma, and Linux Tools will need to
        take action to eliminate the 9.2 versions.  I wonder if they are
        paying attention?
      
      It would seem better to me if the Platform used the Orbit
        versions to keep things more consistent...
      
      Regards,
        Ed

                  OK - in that case we have some specific SimRel
                    testing to do:
                  
                  
                  1- Which bundles ends up SimRel - or do both end
                    up there. I assume that it will be the Orbit one
                    because it is more recent as far as p2 is concerned
                    (not sure, just best guess).
                 
               
            
            
            
            In 4.24 SDK there is the Maven version of asm and
              asm.tree.
            In 2022-06 M2 p2 repo there is Maven version of
              asm.tree (from platform p2 repo) and Orbit version of asm
              (from Xtext's p2 repo)
             
            
              
                
                  2- Starting from the SDK, does installing
                    features from SimRel cause both to be installed, and
                    if so, are both resolved.
                 
               
            
            
            
            Starting with M2 SDK, installing Xtext SDK from 2022-06
              M2 simrel causes asm.tree from Orbit to be installed:

            Both versions of asm are in my plugins directory after
              installing xtext:

            So is that OK?
