Hi Brad,
I'm guessing what you're seeing is the
following:

The yellow warnings are probably eclipse
complaining about unused imports in the files - this can happen on aspect
files because the eclipse eager parser doesn't understand AspectJ source
and so is not able to detect that the import really is used within the
file. You can turn these warnings off in the project compiler settings.
We will be providing our own eager parser in a future release (not so far
away I hope) that will resolve this issue.

The red alerts appearing in your file
are probably the 'early error indication annotations' that eclipse JDT
has enabled by default (causing e.g. the aspect keyword to be underlined).
We explain how to turn these off in the release notes and welcome page
(I know, I know, no-one reads the doc!). We plan to address this in two
ways - in the imminent dot release we will automate the post-install instructions
so that there is no longer a need to do this by hand. In the same future
release as I mentioned above, providing our own eager parser should resolve
the situation completely.

Both are harmless in this case, but
it will be nice when we fix it so that you don't see them at all....

Hi all (particularly Gregor!). I'm just getting my
feet wet with
aspect4j and am tremendously impressed except for this problem, which
might even be my fault. Can someone please advise?

The standalone compiler and the aspect4j eclipse plugin downloaded and
appeared to install in eclipse flawlessly. Had a few problems starting
spacewar.Game (class not found caused by empty project bin directory
apparently) but explicitly rebuilding the project fixed those and the
game now seems to run just fine.

The problem is, the package explorer shows yellow warnings on three
spacewar classes (Display, Display1, Display2), and when these are
opened, they several red alerts show as well that don't appear in the
package explorer view. Its kind of random; some classes show errors when
opened that aren't reflected in the package explorer alerts. Game was
one as I recall.

Is this my fault for trying to dispose of them with the "Organize
imports" option? Do I believe the red alerts (maybe not; the program
runs after all) or the yellow ones? Are these just GUI glitches? Is
something wrong? Am I simply confused?

All this is on Redhat Linux 9.0 with Eclipse 2.1 (according to the
splash screen); the latest according to the upgrade wizard. 

And oh, yes: this gets logged as the game is running, possibly the
result of the never ending battle to force Linux key bindings to coexist
with Macintosh habits.
