| |
| <p>AJDT 1.1.12 added a wizard for exporting plugins with AspectJ |
| support, and in a similar vein, this release adds a wizard for |
| exporting projects to JAR files, with proper handling of aspects |
| and .aj files.</p> |

| <p>You can now do <b>Run As > AspectJ/Java Application.</b> |
| This looks and behaves exactly like the basic Java launch |
| configuration, with the following two additions:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Main methods inside aspects are detected. This means when |
| you press the <b>Search...</b> button in the <b>Main class</b> |
| section of the run configuration dialog, or when you do <b>Run |
| As > AspectJ/Java Application</b> directly, you are |
| presented with a selection dialog containing all main methods, |
| in both classes and aspects.</li> |
| |
| <li>On the <b>Classpath</b> tab of the run configuration |
| dialog there is an additional classpath entry for <b>Aspect |
| Path</b>. If the aspect path for a project has been set (via |
| Properties > AspectJ Aspect Path) then the same entries |
| will automatically appear here.</li> |

| <p>Options have been added to the <b>New Aspect</b> wizard to |
| allow instantiation modifiers to be selected. By default no |
| modifiers are added to the created aspect |
| (<code>issingleton</code> is the implicit default), but by |
| checking the instantiation option, you can then choose from the |
| available modifiers: <code>issingleton, perthis, pertarget, |
| percflow,</code> and <code>percflowbelow.</code> See Appendix B |
| of the AspectJ Programming Guide for the definition of these |
| modifiers.</p> |

| <p>For those errors and warnings generated by the AspectJ |
| compiler that are the same as those generated by the Eclipse |
| Java compiler, the appropriate source ranges and marker types |
| are used so that the normal Java quick fix corrections are now |
| available. (No such corrections are currently available in |
| aspects, or if classes are in .aj files).</p> |

| <p>The AspectJ runtime library, <code>aspectrt.jar</code> was |
| previously contained in the <code>org.aspectj.ajde</code> |
| plugin, but it has now been moved out into its own plugin, |
| <code>org.aspectj.runtime</code>. This means that |
| AspectJ-enabled plugins only need to depend on this very small |
| plugin at runtime, instead of the much larger ajde plugin. If |
| you have existing AspectJ plugins, you will need to manually |
| change the dependency over to |
| <code>org.aspectj.runtime<code>.</p> |
