Description Ramnivas Laddad CLA 2008-12-09 20:01:25 EST 
This is for the weaving-based AJDT.

Currently, AJDT requires a change in an aspect to be indexed (and thus be available with Cttl+Shift+T). For the use cases such as opening a new project (say after a fresh checkout from a version control system), this can be a problem i.e. user may think that the aspect doesn't exist, when in fact it just hasn't been indexed.

Seems that this would be more of a one-time thing, that you may want your aspects (re-)indexed when the weaving plugin is firs installed, and thereafter indexing can be handled by JDT.  

Perhaps a better solution would be to prompt the user on install if they would like aspects re-indexed, and then also provide a button for this in the preferences page.

I committed a small change that puts a button on the preferences page to reindex the whole workspace.  This is not ideal since it is a hidden feature, but is perhaps sufficient for now.  In later versions, I would like to add a prompt on install to reindex.

Fixed.  Now, user is prompted on the first startup after weaving is enabled to reindex all aspects.
