Re: Runtime requirements

Hi Eric.

The most lightweight you can make it is to post-process your .class 
files and run them as ususal.

You don't need the whole AspectWerkz dist for this, you only need to 
have the aspectwerkz.jar in your classpath (along with the libs needed 
for running aspectwerkz, see the lib folder) and to set couple of system 
properties.

See the docs.

Post-process all class files in a specific directory (recursively):
	aspectwerkz -offline <definitionfile> <classpath> <srcdir>

Note: when you then are running the application (without using the 
aspectwerkz command) you have to feed the JVM with the

-Daspectwerkz.home=<path_to_the_root_of_the_distribution> and the

-Daspectwerkz.definition.file=<path_to_the_definition_file> options.

You also have to put all the libraries in the ASPECTWERKZ_HOME/lib 
directory in your classpath.

Is this lightweight enough?
