[aspectj-users] Is @DeclareParents the only way to make inter-type field

[João Gonçalves <jocolimonada@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings, I have a small doubt.

In AspectJ's "traditional" notation, it is possible to declare a new field for a type this way:

public aspect A {

    private FieldType  TargetType.field = <something>;

}

In @AspectJ notation do I have to create an interface (mixin) that has that field and use @DeclareParents/@DeclareMixin to make all instances of the type TargetType have that field.

Is there a simpler way?

Thanks
