| <h1>AspectJ 5 Readme</h1> |
| |
| <p>AspectJ 5 introduces several important changes to the language and tools |
| in order to support Java 5, and to extend the capabilities of AspectJ in |
| general. These changes are too extensive to describe in a simple readme file, |
| so instead we have created the <a href="adk15notebook/index.html">AspectJ 5 |
| Developer's Notebook</a> to describe them.</p> |
| |
| <p>The 1.5.0 M1 milestone release supports a subset of the changes described |
| in the developer's notebook. Currently implemented features are:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="adk15notebook/varargs.html">Varargs</a> |
| <li><a href="adk15notebook/enumeratedtypes.html">Enums</a> |
| <li><a href="adk15notebook/covariance.html">Covariance</a> |
| <li><a href="adk15notebook/annotations.html">Annotations</a>, with the following |
| exceptions: declare annotation is not yet implemented, and the @pcd forms |
| can be used for matching, but not yet for binding of formals. |
| <li><a href="adk15notebook/autoboxing.html">Autoboxing</a> |
| <li>Bridge methods created by Java compilers to support generics are treated |
| as synthetic and have no join points. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p>These are implemented as changes to the weaver, not the front-end compiler. |
| The 1.5.0 M1 release cannot be used to <i>compile</i> code using Java 5 |
| features, but can be used to weave (inpath) Java classes created by a Java 5 |
| compiler.</p> |
| |

| changes</a> document.</p> |
