Hi Alex,

Try looking at the code for the New Aspect wizard
in AJDT, as it creates a .aj file and then opens it in the editor. The
code is in NewAspectCreationWizard.java - look at the finish() method.
It just does a workspace operation to create the file. You can then get
an ICompilationUnit from the file with AJCompilationUnitManager.getAJCompilationUnit(file);

Note that the AJDT source code is now under "AJDT_src"
in CVS as per my earlier note to ajdt-dev.

Regards,

Matt.
