Re: [aspectwerkz-user] From aspectwerkz to aspectJ

Hi

> 1. Is AspectJ going to support plain java syntax ?

Yes. AspectJ "5" (aka 1.5, currently in 1.5 M2) does support code
style (AspectJ aspect, pointcut, advice new keyword that extends the
java language) and annotation style (aka @AspectJ, or plain java
syntax ala AspectWerkz)
You can expect good support for @AspectJ style in 1.5 M3 that will
ship in some days.

You need an AspectJ 1.5 build. Take the most recent build (we publish
some of them quite often ). If you plan to work only in Eclipse 3.1,
take a recent AJDT for Eclipse 3.1 (again, a recent build).

> 3. Does AspectJ5 work with eclipse 3.1 ?

Yes it does, and it has started to get some support for the plain java
syntax as well
http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/avasseur/archives/001128_aspectj_in_ajdt_a_world_premiere_.html

Some links:
http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/downloads.php
(take last good know development build for better plain java syntax)
AJDT update url for Eclipse 3.1 and AspectJ 5 for last dev. build 
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/31/dev/update
(http://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/ , follow "take me straight to the download" link)

I would advice to wait AspectJ 1.5 M3 and the AJDT build for it, but
you can start with those links and send us back bugs / comments / etc
(perhaps more on AspectJ user or dev mailing list - unless you face or
anticipate a migration issue from AW)
