Re: [aspectj-users] Weaving core Java classes

[Hendrik <slackiz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply Eric.

At the moment I am just concerned with static weaving, e.g. inserting a 
new constructor to classes. So I think rt.jar weaving should work for 
me, but need to clarify some things first:
1. Does AspectJ provide a native/straightforward solution for weaving 
into rt.jar or is it some kind of a workaround?
2. Can we take out the woven code from the rt.jar? (I personally think 
it's not possible due to the complexity of the involved tasks)

Thanks,

Hendrik
