Re: [aspectj-users] IntelliJ IDEA and AspectJ

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't used the IntelliJ plugin myself, so I am not sure of its
limitations, but the way that you describe the plugin, it does not
seem particularly useful.

Another possibility is to use the AJBrowser:
http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/devguide/ajbrowser.html
This is included with your aspectj installation.  AJBrowser uses
public apis to drive the compilation process.  It is much simpler than
AJDT, so if anyone were to create an IntelliJ plugin, looking at the
source code for AJBrowser is a good template to work from.
