Re: [aspectj-users] Tools that generate AspectJ aspects

[Dean Wampler <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

The first version of Contract4J generated aspects based on Java 5 annotations. I subsequently rewrote it to use a fixed set of more-general aspects and a scripting language interpreter. If you would like to look at the original version, here's the link on sourceforge:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130191

It's the "contract4j5_011" version.

It's worth mentioning that, in retrospect, I believe that I should have stayed with the original design ;)  It is much simpler and has much better performance than the more "sophisticated" new design.  I made this change because using C4J required another step in the build process (precompilation), while the latest version does not (it can even be used with LTW).

Hi all.

For a current research project I am trying to get an overview of tools
that generate AspectJ aspects (usually for the purpose of
instrumentation) from some other language. As an example of what I
have in mind, there are for example JavaMOP and J-LO which generate
AspectJ code from temporal safety specifications.

http://www.sable.mcgill.ca/~ebodde/rv/JLO/

So if you know or even developed any other tool(s) that does a similar
thing, please let me know. In turn I promise to cite the tool it in my
work ;-)

Cheers,
Eric
