Re: [aspectj-users] weaving existing OSGi jars and exclusion of aspect c

[Simone Gianni <simoneg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Haddock,
what you are talking about are "Aspect Libraries", that is a jar 
containing aspect that is then applied to other classes. This can be 
done by ajc and by the maven plugin. Let's call the jar containing the 
aspects "library" and the jar containing classes to be woven "target".

Obviously target will have the library as a dependency. Then, the 
library must be on the "aspect path" of ajc, to do this you can 
configure the mojo as explained here 
http://mojo.codehaus.org/aspectj-maven-plugin/libraryJars.html

Another option is to use Equinox Aspects, which will apply your aspect 
library bundle directly to the target bundle at runtime, using LTW 
instead of compiling it during build time, making it very dynamic as it 
should be in OSGi.

Hope this helps,
Simone
