Re: [aspectwerkz-dev] Creating AOPified javadocs

Hi!

If we can agree on what this tool is supposed to produce I can start 
working on it (I have used QDox and it is pretty nice [smile/]). What I 
have also unclear is how I can handle the annotations a la 1.5. If I 
find a common point on the above points I could start it asap (as my 
holiday is approaching and I will have some more spare time [happy/]).

I will try later this evening to make some proposals but till then feel 
free to propose yours.

[Have a nice day] / [10x]
