Re: [aspectj-users] Matching a Class That Contains an Annotation

Hey,

This should still work.  Of course the problem with that approach is
that you need to specify the same type in multiple different pointcut
pieces, and you will write lots of similar declares (one per type).
When the if() syntax is supported you would write just the one.
