Re: [aspectj-users] Weaving standard libraries

[David Pearce <david.pearce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wes,

Not at all!  I'm actually interested in weaving into things like e.g. 
java.lang.String or java.lang.Thread and believe that there are certain 
limitations on what can be done here.  What i'm looking for is something 
telling me exactly what those limitations are.

This suggests to me that weaving code into the standard libraries would
be violating someone's license ?

Cheers,

Dave
