ok, will checkout aspectwerkz2.

<rant>
hmmm... ok, so HEAD is dead? i.e. there's no more development at all on
it, not even bug fixes? If so, it should have a version of 0.9.1dev or
something like that... ;-).

Anyway, so it means that 0.10 is a major change, right? I guess that's
why it was developed on a branch (as the usual practice is to have the
latest version on HEAD and bug fixes on a branch).

BTW, I find that having 0.x versions is very misleading. It's supposed
to mean that it's not stable yet. So it's supposed to say to people:
don't use this version in any serious work. But the problem is that when
a framework stays in 0.x state for long and when that framework is
useful (as AW is!) and there's lots of advertising for it (as there is
for AW), then 0.x doesn't mean anything anymore and you'll end up anyway
with users very angry if you break seriously some APIs. So I guess AW
0.9 is equivalent to a 1.x version and 0.10 is equivalent to a 2.x
one... :-) That's probably why the branch is called aspectwerkz2 ;-)
</rant>

Thanks Alex and don't be concerned about my rant. It's not addressed at
AW in particular. It's just that I see so many frameworks in the java
open source world doing this that I am a bit tired with this strategy...
:-)

Thanks
