Re: [aspectj-users] [ot] Eclipse AspectJ code snippet


Alex,

You might be able to post errata on the Addison Wesley web site http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0321245873 but i can't find an obvious link I'm afraid.

pfuiii... I was a little afraid :-).

Is there a way/place to post this small errata? (and maybe some of the other
clarifications/suplimentary questions I have run through by reading this excellent book).
