[aspectj-dev] weaving information via messages

[Martin Lippert <lippert@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

for the dynamic weaving functionality that I implemented for the Eclipse 
runtime I need to know which aspect got woven into which class. 
Therefore it would be good if the weaver would generate messages during 
the bytecode weaving. Those specialized messages could contain 
information for the aspect and the class.
I implemented a special subclass of Message and added the creation of 
the message to the BcelAdvice class (a simple test case for this as 
well). I used the Message.INFO kind for this to not modify the IMessage 
interface. It might be better to have a special IMessage.Kind for that, 
something like "WOVEN". What do you think about this kind of information 
mechanism?

In addition to that I believe there are more places (in addition to 
BcelAdvice.implementOn(..)) where this kind of information should be 
generated, but I do not know exactly, where they are. Do you have any 
idea where I should put this message creation, too?

Best regards,
Martin
