Description Eric Bodden CLA 2009-05-19 22:09:20 EDT 
org.aspectj.lang.reflect.Advice should support a method getAnnotations() that returns annotations attached to this advice; this may or may not include annotations that ajc places there by itself during the weaving process but it should at least include all user-supplied annotations

note that this bug is related to bug 234932, in which I state the problem that currently annotations on advice are not even preserved

currently the lack of support for this is stopping me from getting a project done

I just realized that one also cannot obtain parameter names from the advice (only their types); the pointcut contains a textual representation of the bound parameters but gives no indication of their order; I have a use case where I need to know the parameter's names

unlikely to make 1.6.5 but coming onto the radar.

unsetting the target field which is currently set for something already released
