Re: [aspectj-users] Building Eclipse from source using AspectJ; Checkpointing; Tracing

Matthew,
 
      Thank you for your advice.  However, I am having trouble with launching a JUnit plugin for the HelloWorld demo.  In the launch configuration, I am getting the error that the "demo.hello project does not exist", which is the default for this launch configuration.  I grabbed the source code directly from CVS, so there should not be a problem there in terms of "things lining up".
 
       Additionally in general terms, if I understand Equinox correctly, it allows users to work with specific compilation units called bundles at the time that aspects are written, thus reducing compilation and linking effort?
 
                                                                             Sincerely,
                                                                             Craig

Craig,

If you want to weave Eclipse then a better approach would be load-time weaving. Please take a look at the Aspects Equinox Incubator http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/aspects/index.php. You can pick and choose the plug-ins that need weaving rather than trying to build the whole platform from scratch.

[aspectj-users] Building Eclipse from source using AspectJ;        Checkpointing; Tracing





Hello,
 
    I am interested in integrating a programming language into Eclipse, and I am trying to figure out how to go about understanding how Eclipse works.  To this end, I thought of running Eclipse in a debugger to understand its dynamic behavior.  If that would be the case, I think it would be useful to have some sort of tracing and/or checkpointing support as well as logging.  Because of these issues, AspectJ came to mind because aspects would be a good way to implement these features.  At this time I desire to know, can Eclipse 3.2 be built from source using AspectJ?  I am the Ant build files would need to be altered.  Currently, I am have trouble compiling Eclipse 3.2 using regular Java, getting tens of thousands of errors.  I addressed this problem with another newsgroup, but additionally if anyone has an idea here, I would appreciate it.  Also, could someone comment on the feasibility of implementing the above features using AspectJ?  
 
                                                                               Thanks,
                                                                               Craig
