| Launching a program with the main method in an aspect |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| The way to launch an AspectJ program where the main method is contained |
| in an aspect is to use an <b>AspectJ/Java Application</b> launch |
| configuration. |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the Package Explorer, select the compilation unit or |
| .aj file you want to launch.</li> |
| <li>From the pop-up menu, select <b>Run > AspectJ/Java Application</b>. |
| Alternatively, select <b>Run > Run As > AspectJ/Java Application</b> |
| in the workbench menu bar, or select <b>Run As > AspectJ/Java Application</b> |
| in the drop-down menu on the <b>Run</b> tool bar button</li> |
| <li>Your program is now launched, and text output is shown in the |
| Console.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| You can also launch an AspectJ program with the main method in an aspect, by |
| selecting a project instead of the compilation unit or .aj file. You will |
| be prompted to select the aspect from those aspects and classes that define a |
| main method. |
