[news.eclipse.technology.ajdt] Re: AJDT or Equinox Aspects for Eclipse A

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew.eisenberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, in order to weave into Eclipse plugins (ie- OSGi bundles), you must use
Equinox Aspects.  In order to make your own plugin exposed to the weaver,
you must include an aop.xml file.

See the aspectJ programming guide for more info on aop.xml:
http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/next/devguide/ltw-configuration.html

See the Equinox Aspects page for more info on EA:
http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/aspects/index.php

Please post to the mailing list if you continue to have questions.
