Description Andrew Clement CLA 2010-04-19 17:40:48 EDT 
I'm going to make the annotations added to class files to support the AjType reflection system optional.  The option '-reflectable' will ensure they are there, but without that option they won't be there.  They are rarely used and increase code size as well as interfere with regular reflection (which is what many systems/frameworks are typically using anyway to look at AspectJ code).

done very first part.  option support and ITDs not tagged with ajcITD.  Need to be careful around changes to the non-internal annotations, like Before/etc - which should remain.
Comment 2 Andrew Clement CLA 2010-04-19 17:42:04 EDT 
option name changed to -makeAjReflectable
Comment 3 Andrew Clement CLA 2010-06-30 11:00:05 EDT
