Bug 66442

Description Michael McConnell 2004-06-09 19:09:33 EDT

1. Misspelled type name: In this case, the type won't exist
    anywhere in the system. This also includes case of fully
    specified type name with missed/misspelled packages.
 2. Correctly spelled type name but missed package statement
    (and type not in the same package as the aspect): In
    essense the type isn't visible to the aspect.
 3. Type name specified as wildcarded package: This would be
    case when pointcut say something like call(com..MyTypeName.*(..)).
    In this case, you don't even need a package statement and
    the program will still compile fine.
    (This situation is actually covered by a different XLint
     warning, which is turned off by default).

why does an absolute type name needs an import when a wildcarded type name does 
not?

If the lack of a wildcard combined with the lack of an import makes a type 
invisible to an aspect, why is this not an error? When is this correct?
