[aspectwerkz-dev] [jira] Resolved: (AW-482) Question regarding the pre-processing of pristine classloaders and repackaging

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/AW-482?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Alexandre Vasseur resolved AW-482.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Bug

There are multiple ways to hook in AspectWerkz into an application. The recommanded way is either class post compilation, or use of Java 5/ Java 6 javaagent jvm option.
The modification of java.lang.ClassLoader is deprecated and only here for historical purpose and compatibility with legacy Java 1.3/1.4

Just a note: most of AspectWerkz concepts are now implemented into the more broadly supported AspectJ project.

> We are evaluating the usage of AspectWerkz in our software project.  I am the CTO at the company and have been told by my developers that Aspectwerkz ships with an offline utility that modifies the standard VM classloaders and repackes them to a degree.  Could you verify this and if so are there any license considerations given that you are modify the VM code without any license to do so?
