[aspectj-dev] Online samples

[Wes Isberg <wes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Let's make it easier for AspectJ users to find small AspectJ code
samples by publishing HTML page(s) with linkable code and discussion.
The code would include idioms and workaround, as well as
task-oriented docs, e.g., "how do I set up Apache's JSP compiler
to weave in my aspects?"  Some of what's in the FAQ now would move
out to these sample pages, but the goal is that committers would
migrate good code on the mailing list to the samples pages. (In
theory, a "how to" question would never have to be asked twice.)
These pages could be updated at any time, and incorporated into
the Programmers Guide when that is revised, if appropriate.
So we'll have...

- code samples: online html snippets and tasks, links to all of...
- examples:     programs in the distribution
- idioms:       the programming guide section
- exercises:    tutorial code

Absent objection, I'll put up an initial version, linked off
the docs page.  The goal is not to have a page maintainer, but
for any committer to add code as appropriate (by contrast, the
Programming Guide operates per our usual strong-lead model).
