Re: [aspectj-dev] Themes for AspectJ 1.2

[Dean Wampler <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Enterprise support is very interesting to me, in part because of current 
"day job" projects, but also because it will teach us a lot about 
building aspect "components" and how to make aspects first-class 
architecture elements like classes, and not just "things we apply to 
classes". In other words, I see this exercise as important for advancing 
the theory and practice of AOSD.

A standard library would also be valuable. Even if it is kept somewhat 
"unofficial" at this point, example aspects are really helpful for 
learning and reuse.
