Re: [equinox-dev] News from Equinox Aspects

["Andrew Eisenberg" <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's great news!  Congratulations.

We are considering using Equinox Aspects with AJDT and so this could
possibly be a big help for us.

The reason why we are looking into Equinox Aspects is that for a long
time we had hoped that the JDT team would open up some of its inner
functionality to us via extension points, but so far they have not.
So, we now think that the best approach is to weave into the JDT in a
very precise way so that we can extend JDT in an exact manner.

I'm sure I will be asking for some help soon.

thanks,
