| AspectJ editor |
| </h1> |
| <p>The AspectJ editor extends the Java editor and provides specialized features for editing AspectJ code.</p> |
| |
| <p>Associated with the editor is an Outline view, which shows the structure of the active compilation unit. |
| It is updated as the user edits the compilation unit.</p> |
| |
| <p>The editor includes the following features:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Syntax highlighting</li> |
| |
| <li>Some content/code assist</li> |
| |
| <li>Code formatting</li> |
| |
| <li>Some import assistance</li> |
| |
| <li>Integrated debugging features</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>The most common way to open the AspectJ editor is to open a file from |
| the Navigator or Package explorer using pop-up menus or by clicking the file. |
| You can also open the editor by opening AspectJ elements from other views.</p> |
| |
| <p>By default the AspectJ editor is used for files with the .aj extension |
| and the Java editor for files with the .java extension. Some |
| experienced AspectJ users may wish to use AspectJ function in .java files such as |
| referring to inter-type declarations, using inner aspects, implementing interfaces |
| defined in aspects or calling methods on aspects. In this case you will see |
| errors in the Java editor (although there will not be build errors). You may wish to |
| either convert the file extension to .aj or use the AspectJ editor.</p> |
| |
| <p> To open a |
| .java file with the AspectJ editor right click, then select <strong>Open With |
| > AspectJ/Java Editor</strong>. To use the AspectJ editor for all .java files |
| select <strong>Window > Preferences > Workbench > File Associations</strong>. |
| Select <em>.java</em> in the right-hand window, then use the section below to change the |
| default editor.</p> |
