[aspectj-dev] AspectJ implementation question: Additional Dependencies

[Martin Lippert <lippert@xxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have a question regarding the compiling and implementation of the AspectJ 
language.

Lets imagine the following situation:
I have a class A and an aspect B. The aspect B uses class C to do something. 
Aspect B affects class A in some way.

And now the question:
Is there any possibility to implement the aspect B in a way that the compiler 
inserts an additional direct dependency from class A to class C? Or does the 
compiler insert new dependencies only from class A to aspect B (where aspect B 
still uses class C)?

For me the introduction features of AspectJ seems to allow the additional 
dependency but in the same way the AspectJ compiler implementation might compile 
and weave this differently (via delegation or something similar).

Thank you very much!!!

Best regards,
Martin
