Re: [aspectj-users] Replace void with return this

If a setter has been weaved to return this instead of void, can non-aspect client code use that to chain main executions ?

Only to provide the builder pattern to chain method executions, especially WRT setters.

Well with modifying the bytecode anything is possible. But whether it fits into the remit of AspectJ I'm not sure.  What is your use case?

Basically, for any class T, change
void doStuff() {}
to
T doStuff() { return this; }

This has been requested over in pure java land and got deferred.
