Improve error message when trying to shrink Java 11 class files about yguard

[lgka]

I get the same error when I try to obfuscate a jar created with openjdk >=9
I notice that yguard 2.9.0 contains asm-7.2.jar but I still get this error...

Hello, is there any workaround for the above error or planned to be fixed in a future release ? I use the latest openjdk 13.0.1

The project was open-sourced just recently, so the community hasn't grown, much, yet. We certainly don't have the resources to fix all open issues, immediately on our own, yet. And as much as I hate to say it, we also open-sourced it, hoping that others might step in to help with the implementation and maintenance. Sadly most open-source lovers, still only love open source because it's free, and don't want to help, either.

That said - the fact that the issue is reported, marked as high priority gives a strong indication that there are plans for fixing it in a future release. So the answer to your question is: yes, we just don't know yet, when that will happen :-)
