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

["Ron Bodkin" <rbodkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would definitely also take a look at Cobertura:
http://cobertura.sourceforge.net/  The most recent release says “Added
support for classes compiled with AspectJ”

I have been using Emma with AspectJ, it’s a nice open source bytecode-based
tool. I am able to report package, method and block-level coverage. 

However, it doesn’t report line-level coverage information for AspectJ code
because it complains about missing line numbers for synthetic AspectJ
methods (aspectOf() etc.). The lead Emma developer, Vlad, takes the position
AspectJ should be marking its methods as Java synthetic rather than using a
custom AjSynthetic attribute. In past, some other tools have been confused
by having AspectJ marking methods as synthetic (or give them a line number
of zero).

Eduardo, 

I believe Emma works with AspectJ.

I was just wondering on this one... If one uses  @AJ syntax, his
aspects can be checked against a code coverage tool... Maybe no tool
supports AspectJ yet, I don't know...
