It might be helpful to clarify which combinations of JCOV, ASM, Javatest, and TestNG are currently supported. For example, the JCOV repository still references [ASM 9.7.1](https://github.com/openjdk/jcov/blob/29e9fdf06ef195f25c121b5069e2292d48bcbeb5/build/build.properties#L33), which appears to be outdated and incompatible with JDK 25.
