[aspectj-users] Re: Weird bytecode generated by AspectJ 1.2 (Hristo Stoy

[Hristo Stoyanov <hr_stoyanov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Adrian (and Andrew, Wes...), thanks!
I take my concerns back - From the attention issue
#69706 received from Andrew Clement, I see your are
taking Aspectj very, very seriously and
professionally. And thanks for the near-future
roadmap, the interesting content on your weblog and on
http://aspectprogrammer.org/  !

Regards,
Hristo

Thanks Wes-,
I did file a detailed bug report (#69706). Since this
is a show-stopper bug for me, I am very concerned with
the quality of AspectJ 1.2, in particular:

1) ApspectJ 1.2 does not appear to be ready for
production - I just saw it behave absurdly with
another jar file (see attachment none) and those were
only the first things I try with it!

2) When is the next bug-fix release, in which I can
expect improvements. It looks like AspectJ is in very
slow development (for an OSS project)

3) On the dev. site I saw "aspectj-DEVELOPMENT.jar",
is this post-AspectJ1.2 with bug fixes?

Thanks
Hristo

Yes. Every time a commit happens, cruise control runs
a new build and all 
of the aspectj test cases. If the test suite passes,
then 
aspectj-DEVELOPMENT.jar is uploaded as the
'last-known-good' version.

Other than taking the aspectj-DEVELOPMENT.jar, the
next release of AspectJ 
will be 1.2.1, which should amongst other enhancments
include an internal 
upgrade to the Eclipse 3.0 final Java compiler. We
haven't set a release 
date for that yet, but it will be weeks, not months.

Whilst we always could use more resource, if you look
at the first six 
months of this year you'll find that AspectJ has come
on very quickly. 
Since the release of 1.2, we've been focusing on a
major round of 
improvements in AJDT (and in AspectJ to support AJDT)
that will manifest 
themselves in the AJDT 1.1.11 release that will be put
out in a matter of 
days. When the AJDT release is out, we will then be
focusing once more on 
core AspectJ improvements, including fixing open bug
reports, and 
extending AspectJ for Java 5.

There are many AspectJ users doing serious development
with AspectJ (and 
from long before the 1.2 release) - see the thread
'List of main users' in 
the archives of this list for some examples. We are
trying to reproduce 
your bug following the steps in the bug report, but so
far have not been 
able to. We can use the bugzilla bug report to
communicate further on this 
and bring the issue to resolution.

Regards, Adrian.
