BEA sponsors AspectWerkz

Hi guys.

The AspectWerkz <http://aspectwerkz.codehaus.org/> project is since a a 
month ago sponsored by BEA Systems <http://www.bea.com/>. Both Alexandre 
<http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/avasseur/> and I, the founders and 
primary contributors to AspectWerkz, are full time BEA employees. I work 
with the JRockit engineering team in Stockholm, and our primary 
objective is to make AspectWerkz the leading AOP framework for dynamic 
AOP, and to ensure that the JRockit JVM 
<http://commerce.bea.com/showallversions.jsp?family=WLJR> is far and 
away the best Java platform for AOP.

We are, of course, working on a number of interesting future directions 
tight to the in tight coordination with the rest of the BEA products 
line, but the near term goals are to build deep and unprecedented 
support for AOP, including real-time run-time weaving into JRockit Java 
Virtual Machine, and to make AspectWerkz on top of JRockit the number 
one choice for dynamic AOP in enterprise application environments.

AspectWerkz still is and will remain open source software, licensed 
under LGPL and will continue being platform and vendor independent.
