Re: [aspectj-dev] weaving incompatibility?






Hi Adrian,

thanks for the detailed explanation of the compatibility questions. That 
explains the problem I observed.

Interesting point. Which one? The one that is used to compile it or the 
one that is used to weave it?

Okay. Is there a bug to track this? I really would like to update the 
weaver of my weaving runtime but only if it allows to load/weave 
asepects that are compiled with any of the AJDT versions that are out 
right now (AJDT 1.1.x and AJDT 1.2.0Mx).

Thanks again,
Martin
