<intro>This page will help familiarize you with the Eclipse AspectJ development tooling.

<item><b>The Java Perspectives </b>
To do development using AspectJ open to the Java Perspective <action pluginId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui" class="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.OpenJavaPerspectiveAction">Window > Open Perspective > Java</action>.
Alternatively, if you prefer a more browser-like user interface then open to the Java Browsing
Perspective <action pluginId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui" class="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.actions.OpenJavaBrowsingPerspectiveAction">Window > Open Perspective > Java Browsing</action>.</item>
<item><b>Create AspectJ components </b>
To start, first create an <action pluginId="org.eclipse.ajdt.ui" class="org.eclipse.ajdt.internal.ui.actions.AspectJProjectWizardAction">AspectJ Project</action>. Next create a Package within that Project using
<action pluginId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui" class="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.OpenPackageWizardAction">File > New > Package</action> (use the Browse... button to select your project if it is not already
listed in Source Folder field).
To create a Java class, use the Java Class wizard <action pluginId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui" class="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.OpenClassWizardAction">File > New > Class</action> (again use the Browse...
buttons within the wizard to select the appropriate Project and Package for your class).
To create an aspect, use the New Aspect wizard <action pluginId="org.eclipse.ajdt.ui" class="org.eclipse.ajdt.internal.ui.actions.OpenAspectWizardAction">File > New > Aspect</action> (again use the Browse...
buttons within the wizard to select the appropriate Project and Package for your class).</item>
<item><b>Running an AspectJ Program</b>
To run an AspectJ program, click on <action pluginId="org.eclipse.debug.ui" class="org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.actions.OpenRunConfigurations">Run > Run...</action>. Select Java Application as the launch
configuration and click New. Identify the program in the Project and Class fields and then click
Run.</item>
<item><b>Exploring AspectJ examples</b>
To add AspectJ examples to your workspace, use the <action pluginId="org.eclipse.ui.workbench" class="org.eclipse.ui.actions.NewExampleAction">New Example</action> wizard.</item>
<item><b>Learn More </b>
To learn more you can read the <topic id="/org.eclipse.ajdt.ui/doc/AJDTug/ajdt-doc.htm">AspectJ Development User Guide</topic>..</item>
