[aspectj-users] How to remove aspectjrt.jar runtime dependecy while usin

[Rajendra Prasad Vissapragada <rajvissa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andy,
 The reason we can't have dependency on aspectjrt.jar
is it will be run in a applet like env. on the client
machine who may have plain JDK installed and on
different OS.

And we don't want to force clients to download
aspectjrt.jar. We want just the logging to be enabled
using aspects.
To be clear, at the compilation time the aspects have
to be injected into the code/class files and that
should be the AspectJ dependecy end.

Is there any way I can do this, even some alternatives
of it will do as long as I don't require aspectjrt.jar

Thanks,
Rajendra

Depending on the features you are using in the aspect,
you may or may 
not
have a hard dependency on aspectjrt.jar - are you
using
thisJoinPoint/thisJoinPointStaticPart? or cflow? those
are the kind of
things that cause you a dependency on aspectjrt.jar.

Why is it that you cannot have a dependency on
aspectjrt.jar - is it 
that it
is too big?  It is true aspectjrt.jar has grown a lot
in AspectJ1.5.0 
and it
is likely you only need a small subset (unless you are
using the new 
AspectJ
reflection support or using the @AJ syntax
development).  We have been
having thoughts about shipping multiple variants, a
small core one for
environments like J2ME that don't need the extras and
the big one for 
those
wanting to utilise all the capabilities.

Andy.
