[aspectj-users] Re: Constructor introduction

[Matthew Webster <matthew_webster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In AspectJ 1.1 wildcards were dropped for inter-type declarations including
constructors because of the difficulty in associating a type with "this".
Unfortunately the trick of first adding a field or method to an interface
then adding the interface to multiple classes using declare parents and
wildcards is not available for constructors (see Appendix B of the "AspectJ
Programming Guide").
