One ASM developer here,
Mikhailo, you can use the ASMifier that creates, from a class file, a 
Java file that will generate the class file
(you will just have to change the imports to use the ASM version 
embedded in the jdk).
see http://asm.ow2.org/doc/faq.html#Q10

cheers,
Rémi

I did use tools to disassemble the jar into a jasm, in order to look at it and to understand what the code does. Hence, the only jasm I could include is the reverse-engineered one; however I agree that it is still better than having binary in the source, since I can include some comments with jasm code explaining what it does.
