AspectJ and AJDT developers,
Thank you very much for your hard work to get us AspectJ 5. You guys
stood up to the challenges brought by all new features in Java 5,
merger with AspectWerkz, and increasing demand for improved tool
support.
This is, without a doubt, the most significant milestone in the history
of AOP.
Congratulations!
-Ramnivas

We're delighted to say that AspectJ 5 was released today
and is available from the AspectJ download page:
http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/downloads.php
This release constitutes a full-upgrade of AspectJ to support Java 5,
while also delivering a large number of quality improvements that will
benefit users running on JDK 1.4 or below. In addition to the Java 5
related language changes AspectJ 5 also supports an @AspectJ style of
aspect declaration, greatly enhanced load-time weaving capabilities, a
full reflection API, and tools APIs for parts of the weaver.

hard work, and without contributions from the community it simply would
not be possible. The following community members have all made
