Re: [aspectj-users] Why annotations are not exposed through JoinPoint.St

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

As I mentioned at the end of the article, support for value variants
is added as compelling use cases come up.  String/enum were originally
added, since then 'int' has been added.  array has not been added and
that is what you are trying.

I've raised https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=367042 to
cover the array case.  It won't be as straightforward as the others
though, I presume you'd want to bind multiple entries in an array or
bind a specific entry and not others.

cheers,
Andy
