[aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.8.1 released

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

AspectJ 1.8.1 is now in maven central. 

The short readme is here:

http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-181.html

You can grab it from the usual download page: http://eclipse.org/aspectj/downloads.php

This release picks up *numerous* Java8 fixes that were made to the Eclipse Java 8 compiler since AspectJ 1.8.0 was put out. It also includes some important fixes around weaving code that contains invokedynamic instructions (i.e. that was using lambdas) and code that is using the new MethodParameters attribute.

Some of you may be aware that the early versions of the Eclipse Compiler would not tolerate compiling with a source setting of less than 1.8 if using a 1.8 JRE and would report lots of missing method implementations that were in fact default methods in Java 1.8 library classes. Recent changes in Eclipse JDT have fixed this so you can now specify a compliance of less than 1.8 and compile against a 1.8 JRE.

Enjoy!
