Description Erik Hilsdale CLA 2003-01-07 15:35:49 EST 
The following code doesn't compile:

class Foo { }
aspect Bar {
  int Foo.bar[];
}

instead, programmers are forced to use int[] Foo.bar.  This is not particularly 
Java language compatible.
Comment 1 Jim Hugunin CLA 2003-01-07 15:43:55 EST 
This syntax might be supported in the future, but it is not considered legal 
syntax in AspectJ-1.1.  Use instead:
int[] Foo.bar;
Comment 2 Jim Hugunin CLA 2003-01-07 19:19:34 EST 
To be considered only if a working tested patch is submitted.
Comment 3 Jim Hugunin CLA 2003-06-04 13:13:44 EDT 
marking as info because this clairifies the AspectJ-1.1 language
Comment 4 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2009-08-30 02:49:01 EDT 
LATER/REMIND bugs are being automatically reopened as P5 because the LATER and REMIND resolutions are deprecated.
