Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ 1.9.6 (Java14) released

There will be a dev build with 1.9.6 in it.

I think there will be some experiments now the artifact is out there. I'm in touch with someone on the Spring team who was keeping an eye out for the formal release of the artifact.

And heads up: the non-writable AspectJ at github where I cannot process PRs is about to be replaced with a full workable version. This should enable github issues to be used going forward too. I've manually processed all the PRs I reasonably could - there was one giant one that I've moved to a bugzilla issue so it isn't lost. They will all vanish when the project is replaced.

cheers,

Andy

Thanks Andy and Joseph for your work. Joseph really debugged into the
guts of AspectJ, quite impressive! The artifacts have hit Maven Central
and I had no issues upgrading one of my small private projects. Two
questions:

  1. Will there be an AJDT release containing AJ 1.9.6?

  2. Are there plans to use aspectjmatcher in Spring AOP instead of
     aspectjweaver? The latter only seems useful in Spring if used in
     connection with AspectJ LTW. This could be a great step ahead for
     Spring AOP with regard to making it more lightweight.
