Re: Idea: add introduction tags

Hi Jonas!

What about this:

/**
 * @aspect:introduction name="general.name" implementation="eg.HasNameImpl"
 * @aspect:introduction name="general.description" implementation="eg.HasDescriptionImpl"
 * @aspect:introduction name="user.login" // uses the 'default' implementation, defined in the HasLogin interface
 * @aspect:introduction name="user.password" // uses the 'default' implementation, defined in the HasPassword interface
 * @aspect:persistent
 */

public class User...

/**
 * @aspect:introduction-def name="general.name" implementation="eg.HasNameImpl"
 */
public interface HasName ...

It would be a little more complicated, and maybe someone has a better 
take on this, but I was thinking about something like this:

/**
 * @aspect:advice name="general.caching" advice="eg.MethodCachingAdvice" deploymentModel="perClass"
 * @aspect:advice-param name="general.caching" param-name="timeout" value="10"
 */
