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

[Johan Fabry <jfabry@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Andy, I got it to work now. In case somebody else ever needs  
something similar, below is some code that could be useful, maybe you  
could add it to AsmManager. It does a recursive collect, flatten and  
filter over the entire structure. In my case I call it as follows:

findElementsOfKind 
(compiler 
.getModel().getHierarchy().getRoot(),IProgramElement.Kind.ASPECT)

public Set<IProgramElement> findElementsOfKind(IProgramElement  
container, IProgramElement.Kind kind){
	HashSet<IProgramElement> retval = new HashSet<IProgramElement>();

	if(container.getKind() == kind)
		retval.add(container);
		
	for(Object child : container.getChildren()){
		if (child instanceof IProgramElement){
			Set<IProgramElement> grandchildren =  
findElementsOfKind((IProgramElement)child,kind);
			for(IProgramElement gc : grandchildren)
				retval.add(gc);
		}
	}
	return retval;
}

Note that for my case the recursive collect traverses too deep so this  
could be optimized, but I prefer to keep it generic.
