[aspectj-users] Re: [ajdt-dev] The future of AJDT---weaving into JDT?

["Andrew Eisenberg" <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sure.  The intention is to get this working for AJDT and then figure
out a way to generify it so that others can do the same or similar
approach.

Other than controlling the creation of compilation units, do you see
any other specific points in JDT that may require aspects to gain
control of?  We are also looking into the parser for the same thing.

ps- please send all followup replies to ajdt-dev alone because this
thread is no longer relevant to the aspectj lists.
