[aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.6.9.M2 released

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

AspectJ 1.6.9 milestone 2 has just been released.  It has only been a
month since the last milestone but there are some important fixes that
have gone in and a couple of new features are at the point where
feedback would be useful.

The readme: http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-169.html
has detailed information, but to summarize:

- several problems with incremental compiles of privileged aspects
containing ITDs have been fixed.
- 'overweaving' is now in better shape and ready for user testing.  It
is an alternative to reweaving that doesn't have the limitations of
reweaving.  The difference is discussed in detail here:
http://andrewclement.blogspot.com/2010/05/aspectj-overweaving.html
- 'aop.xml scoping' is now in better shape and ready for user testing.
 This allows a user more control in an aop.xml file over which subset
of included types are actually woven by a particular aspect.

Milestone2 is available from the usual places
(http://eclipse.org/aspectj download page), and now also from a maven
repo!

Repository is here:

<repository>
    <id>maven.springframework.org</id>
    <name>SpringSource milestones</name>

and the version to depend upon is 1.6.9.M2

Enjoy!
