I've found the problem with java-hamcrest-core. The root cause of this is that java-jarjar uses a bundled copy of asm, version 4.0. This asm version does not support icedtea8.
I propose to use java-asm instead of the bundled one. In my opinion the best course of action should be: 1. create a package: java-asm-notest with tests diabled to break the dependency cycle on java-hamcrest-core 2. modify java-jarjar to use java-asm-notest instead of the bundled asm. 3. test if java-hamcrest-core now builds. It is a question if we want to iterate this cycle once more, with a tests-enabled java-asm.
