Re: [aspectj-users] @AJ or conventional syntax?

[Matthew Webster <matthew_webster@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Eduardo,

The 2 syntaxes or development styles
are intended to be complementary. The annotation style, which allows development
in any IDE, was introduced as part of the merger between AspectJ and AspectWerkz.
The @AJ syntax is still a subset of the code-style.

Definetely traditional AJ syntax. I may be wrong I don't see much
purpose in @AJ syntax except for people migrating existing applications
from AspectWerks.
Maybe if would be also beneficial for people that cannot use AJDT for
some reason, but have Java5 enabled IDE?
