Re: AspectWerkzPreProcessor throwing exception on null class name

Good point Steve
I'll had that in 0.10.RC3. Hope to ship it next week.
(Note: defining a null named class is a deprecated method in
java.lang.ClassLoader - but I understand you cannot change this)

BTW: NetBeans is an IDE right ? Could you give some more details on what you
do with "integrating NetBeans and AW" ? Have an AW IDE extension or use AW
to add Aspects in the IDE for dev. purpose etc ?
