[aspectj-users] load-time weaving plans?

[Adrian Powell <apowell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The LTW page in the Developer's Workbook
(http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/aspectj-home/doc/ajdk15notebook/ltw-configuration.html)
looks exciting.  Is this still a vision, or are any of these pieces
available today?

I've found the performance of the AJDT
weaver to be a common gripe with some teammates and even though the AJ
team has made some impressive gains, there is still a large gap.  I
wonder if the AW LTW would be a good tool for development, when we are
constantly saving, and so rebuilding.  In the full build and deploy,
we can still use the static weaver for runtime performance.  It seems
an easy (if maybe inelegant) way to get immediate and dramatic performance
improvements.

Thoughts?  Has any one else tried
this out?  What is the vision for merging AW with AJ?

cheers,
