[aspectj-users] Question about Generic Aspects

[David Pearce <david.pearce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have been reading the Aspectj 1.5 note book and have a question about 
generic aspects, which I'm hoping someone can help me with.  The 
documentation says:

"The type parameter variables from a generic aspect declaration may be 
used in place of a type within any member of the aspect, except for 
within inter-type declarations."

But, it seems that the example goes on to do just this. Namely:

> public abstract aspect ParentChildRelationship<Parent,Child> {
> ...
>  declare parents: Parent implements ParentHasChildren<Child>;
> ...
> }

So, I'm wondering whether I just missed something or, if not, which way 
around it should be.

Thanks,

David J. Pearce
