[aspectj-dev] The size of aspectjrt.jar

[Matthew Webster <matthew_webster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am relaying the observation from someone
using AspectJ 5 with J2ME that the runtime is now > 100K which is more
than twice the size it was in version 1.2.1. Most of this increase can
be attributed to Java 5 only features such as AjType which are not applicable
to the J2ME environment. If runtime size is considered a barrier to use,
as it was in the case I witnessed, it would make sense to produce a version
that is targeted to a small environment.
