Support for two-way mapping, Asm2Dex

[Col-E]

I'm currently looking into Android support on my project, Recaf (rewrite work where this would apply to), and am evaluating a number of potential paths. One such path would be the following:

1. Read a DexFileNode from classes.dex
2. Take each DexClassNode instances, store in a Map<String, DexClassNode>
3. When a Android class is edited, lazily map it to a JVM class, edit that, then map back into DexClassNode
4. Save changes to classes.dex by using DexFileWriter to take the Map<String, DexClassNode> and pack it back into classes.dex

One problem, I don't see anything to facilitate a Asm2Dex process. If need be I'd be willing to contribute work towards making it.

If you have any thoughts on how this process could be improved I'd love to hear 'em.

Hi, that's a good one!
dex2jar uses the dx compiler for its jar2dex command which would trigger a complete recompile (which is the reason why it is a bit wonky -- see here)
An option to facilitate asm2dex would be very nice indeed. The closest option for now are the methods in the J2IRConverter class
