Eugene,

You _can_ open a window that shows Classes,
Interfaces, Annotations _and_ Aspects using Alt+Shift+A. AJDT provides
this dialog because JDT does _not_ allow any extension of its own "Open
Type" dialog. You can always remap the keys so the Ctrl+Shit+T opens
the AJDT dialog. All of this is made quite clear by Matt in the bug report
you reference. If there is any need for discussion it should be about whether
JDT is more extensible.

Subject	[aspectj-users] can you say that AspectJ types are Java types?

Hi,

  Some time ago I had an argument with Matt Chapman from AJDT project
about meaning of AspectJ types. I've been asking to show them together
with other Java types instead of providing a separate dialog specific 
for those types only. This is kinda interesting, because @AspectJ types
are regular classes and being shown in "Open Type..." dialogs
and other 
places. But even so types compiled from AspectJ are regular Java classes
and those classes can be used from other Java classes (i.e. using 
aspectOf() method or custom static methods) they are not shown with the
regular Java classes.

  So, I wonder what community think about this issue, from both points
of view, conceptually (is AspectJ classes are Java classes?) and 
practically (should they shown together with Java types in IDEs?).

  See discussion on Eclipse AJDT bug report at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=161890

  Thanks

  Eugene
