[ews.eclipse.technology.aspectj] Re: Status and future plans for AspectJ

[mpchapman@xxxxxxxxx (Matt Chapman)]

I can answer the AJDT side of things - yes we will fully support Eclipse 
3.2. We're working on a development build to support yesterday's 3.2M6 
milestone, and will continue with development builds until a final AJDT 
1.4 release very close to the Eclipse 3.2 release. Our priority is making 
sure AJDT can be used with large projects - so things like memory usage 
and performance, plus tools to manage high levels of crosscutting.
