[aspectj-dev] minor API request

[Martin Lippert <lippert@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to reduce the modifications I did to the weaver 
implementation parts of AspectJ to make it work in my weaving runtime 
implementation. My goal is to use the AspectJ code without any changes 
directly, just by copying the aspectjtools.jar into my project. And 
there are two points left where I rely on your help:

Wish 1:
Would it be possible to set the visibility of 
BcelWorld.makeBcelObjectType to protected instead of private? The reason 
is: I've implemented a specialized lookup of Java classes for the weaver 
within my runtime weaving implementation. For this implementation I 
created a subclass of BcelWorld that overrides resolveObjectType(..). 
Within this implementation I would like to call makeBcelObjectType(..).

Wish 2:
The WeaveMessage object should provide information about the affected 
type and the aspect. I need this information in order to know which 
aspect is woven during the runtime weaving. Using the WeaveMessage 
concept seems to be the simplest way from my point of view:

(with my implementation attached as patch)

Thanks a lot for your help!!!


Happy New Year!
