Personally ,the worst I've ever run into is some hairy classpath issue, as one the children comments mentions. Although maybe I'm just lucky.

Where does bytecode manipulation or code generation happen in Dropwizard? Reflection for sure, but not any more so than any major web framework in a dynamically typed language.

Maybe you're referring to the SQL library they suggest (which I've admittedly never used heavily). But I don't see how you can have a SQL library without generating SQL.
