[aspectj-users] RE: aspectj-users digest, Vol 1 #527 - 1 msg

Open to correction, but I thought currently ajc works like a preprocessor for your source.

So the aspects 'instrument' the non-aspect code.  A future version of ajc is hoped to weave the byte codes.

If you can get hold of the source for Object, eg by first running it through a decompiler (is that allowed?) or by downloading it (I think it's available as a result of the Java Community Process), then it should work.

Like I said, open to correction..

library. When I do so, I get the following warning:

This affected type is not exposed to the weaver: java.lang.Object
