| <td valign="top"> |
| This point release of AJDT contains a number of bug fixes, and a few new features. |
| Most importantly, AJDT 2.0.2 includes AspectJ 1.6.7a that provides significantly faster |
| compilation, binary weaving, and load-time weaving. See the <a href="http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-167.html"> |
| release notes</a> for more information. |

| AJDT now provides plug-in development tools for running AspectJ-aware headless builds. |
| This new feature, <em>AJDT Plugin Development Tools</em>, is available as an optional |
| feature from the AJDT update site.<br/> |
| <br/> |
| See <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/AspectJ_Aware_Headless_Builds">Eclipsepedia</a> for more |
| some documentation on how to create AspectJ PDE headless builds. And see |

| <td> |
| How long is ajc (the AspectJ compiler) taking to match your pointcuts? Are your |
| pointcuts poorly written and slowing down incremental builds? Now you can find out. |
| AJDT will display AspectJ's pointcut timing information when properly configured. |
| For more information, see the <a href="http://contraptionsforprogramming.blogspot.com/2009/11/getting-aspectj-pointcut-matching-timer.html"> |
| blog</a>. |

| separately. See the <a href="http://eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/README-167.html">release notes here</a>. |
| <br/><br/> |
| AspectJ 1.6.7 includes some radical internal changes. These improvements |
| enable faster compilation, faster binary weaving, faster load time |
| weaving and in some situations faster generated code. |
