Re: [aspectj-dev] Introducing a method to classes that are in the JRE

The mechanics of doing something like this are 
described in the Programmer's Guide discussion of
inter-type declaration and the Development Environment
Guide section on the ajc tool -injars option.  Both
are linked off the AspectJ documentation page.

But we recommend against modifying Java classes because 
doing violates the spirit and perhaps the letter of Sun's
license.  Further, I think it unwise to modify final
classes, and believe that AspectJ should avoid this
(perhaps permitting it under the rubric of privilege):

If you can specify the code you'd actually like to
write and what you're trying to do, then perhaps 
someone can help you do it another way.
