| Comparing crosscutting |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| If you change the pointcut associated with some advice, you may change the |
| locations the advice affects. Similiarly if you add a new method, it may |
| become advised by existing advice, or if you rename a method or change its |
| signature, advice that was previously affecting it may no longer match. You |
| may wish to use the Crosscutting Comparison view to compare the crosscutting |
| relationships in an AspectJ project before and after such a change. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The list of crosscutting relationships in an AspectJ project can be saved |
| out into a file. The relationships |
| in this file can then be compared with a later version of the project, or with |
| a crosscutting file that was created at a different time. This crosscutting information |
| includes details of those locations in a project that are being |
| affected by advice or inter-type declarations. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The crosscutting relationships of two individual elements in a project |
| can also be compared. This allows any differences in the places affected |
| by two different advice elements to be easily determined. Declare error |
| and warning elements can also be compared against other declare elements, |
| or against advice elements. |
