That's definitely the main goal. Second one being able to write good looking
documentations.

Ssh... It is a secret :-) No, I'm just kidding.
The JMX aspects I added were effectively written for this project. I have other
ones (like some for messaging notifications, some for commons-lang fallback if
the weaved objects do not override toString(), equals() and hashCode() methods,
), that I'll add until the location of the AWare project is decided.
I'd like also to refactor the code of my project so that it uses the
Unit-Of-Work pattern like you introduced it in the AOSD presentations. So expect
to have a Hibernate version sooner or later.

That's right.

Nope. Basically, Clover compiles the sources in a specific directory (by default
target\clover\classes) and the run the "post compilation". What I did is that
after the "regular" javac compilation I run AspectC. This means that if you use
Clover, AspectC is run before the "post compilation", which is I think the best
way to do it so that we do not accidentally instrument Clover "enhanced" classes.

Nope. I am running "regular" test-cases (I mean some extends TestCase). I will
look once more at what you did with the WeavedTestCase and see how it might ease
the process.

The only bad thing with my solution is that it currently only works with JRockit
as explained on my wiki. I still have to handle other online-mode solutions
(this should be done by changing the JUnit JVM args).
