Programs compiled with java 9 and up fail to be instrumented

[kajdreef]

When I run blinky with xile,calldepth and xile,frames,calldepth on a project that is compiled with java 9 or 10 the following error occurs (full trace + example program can be found here:
):

When I modified the asm-debug-all dependency from version 5.0 to 6.0_BETA, I am able to run blinky on at least java 9, but not java 10 yet.

So the following configuration works after changing to ASM 6.0_BETA:

java version "9.0.4"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.4+11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.4+11, mixed mode)

But this one does not:

java version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.3 (build 10.0.1+10, mixed mode)

What's the goal here? Java 9, or Java 10? And what your thoughts about Java's new release cycle? should we stick with the LTE version (which i believe is Java 9?)
