Re: [aspectj-users] AJDT Compiles

[Matt Chapman <MCHAPMAN@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We have done some initial testing of AJDT and MyEclipse together, although 
we haven't yet hit the problems noted here. We hope to do some more 
testing in the future, particularly on their final release. If you think 
we can do something on the AJDT side to improve the situation, please 
raise an AJDT bug. Being able to provide a project setup to recreate the 
issue would obviously be a great help (even if it requires MyEclipse).

Regards,

Matt.
