RE: [aspectj-users] Adding methods to all subclasses

["Ron Bodkin" <rbodkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can't use load-time weaving because it won't weave into classes in
java..*  You could distribute a script that creates a woven set of Swing
classes to prepend to the bootstrap classpath, weaving rt.jar. There are
some licensing restrictions to consider, though I think if you suggest users
use the open jdk you'd probably be fine.

Another option to consider is to use around advice on calls to construct the
base swing components and replace them with your own enhanced subclasses,
which you could have woven freely.

No, this is not what I meant. I need to add few new methods to each of
the swing components (JButton, JCheckBox, JFrame etc.), which will
provide new functionality.
