A Java assembler and disassembler

Lilac is an assembler and disassembler for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The assembler parses text files written in an assembler-like syntax and creates Java class files, which can be loaded into JVM. The disassembler does the same process in reverse, that is, it reads Java class files and creates text files which can be feeded to the assembler again. Lilac has been created after the author has for some years searched in vain for a Java-assembler/disassembler solution suitable not only for educational but also professional purposes.

Two minimum goals Lilac sets out to achieve are:

• A perfect roundtrip - the assembling of a disassembled class file should yield the original file
• Symbolic syntax - the assembler syntax should use symbolic names instead of magic numbers while accessing variables and constants

Good proof of concept, but...

I couldn't use it, it would be good if it wasnt such a "complicated" project, like, why the hell you need to set a system environment for this? its such a small project for such a requirement. Thus, if you make it easier to use (like, just make it an API).

Sorry but it's just a critique! Hope you update it, this project is pretty good but you overcomplicated it too much!

Thanks.

What is the license of this project?

I glanced through the documentation and did not find it. I was hoping to use a cut down assembler to extend java classes from within Python for the JPype project. If this code has a compatible license such that I can borrow code it would help. I won't need much as the code patterns I am generating are all simple and disassembly and syntax parsing portion are not needed for the effort. A small portion would need to be embedded in the internal org.jpype jar file. Is is possible to get clarification on the license for reuse in an Apache 2 licensed project?
