Re: [aspectj-users] How to get the super AspectElement from a given Aspe

[Johan Fabry <jfabry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,

thanks for the feedback, but sadly the name I am getting from  
getSuperclassName() is not fully qualified, so findType cant give me  
the super :-( . Any other ways in which this could work?

On a side note, it would be really handy to have some sort of (maybe  
UML) document available that models the structure of the AspectJ  
compiler structure model (modeling the more 'important' elements of  
the model, heh). This way  people using it (i.e. me) are less  
confused. I dont want to sound demanding here, it is just that it  
would really help me to figure out the best way to navigate this  
structure, and I assume that it would be some help to the implementers/ 
maintainers as well. For example not requireing you to think about my  
second question :-)
