| <td valign="top"> |
| In this service release of AJDT, we have included a number of performance enhancements, as well as a few new features. |
| <br/> |
| <br/> |
| This is the last scheduled release of the AJDT stream targeting 3.4. The next release, in early 2010, |
| will be targeting the 3.5 stream only. And our second 2010 release will target 3.5. At the same time, we will also |
| release an early development version of AJDT targeting Eclipse 3.6 in time for EclipseCon 2010. |

| <td> |
| A new wizard is available to export features with AspectJ support. This wizard can be initiated from the <code>File -> Export...</code> |
| command: |
| <br/> |
| <img src="img/export_feature.gif" border="1"/> |
| <br/> |
| This wizard supports all of the options that the standard export feature supports. The only difference is that the AspectJ compiler |
| is used to compile the projects instead of the Java compiler: |

| <td valign="top"><b>AJDT support for passing aop.xml file</b></td> |
| <td> |
| AJDT now provides UI support to pass aop.xml files to the compiler. AspectJ <a href="bug 124460">bug 124460</a> describes how the AspectJ compiler can |
| use aop.xml files for compile time weaving. And now AJDT provides UI support in the following way. |
| <br/> |
| <br/> |
| In project properties of your AspectJ project, select <em>aop.xml management</em>. Here you add and remove aop.xml files |
| that will be sent to the compiler. Note that these files are highlighted using a special icon. Also, note that the name |
| <em>aop.xml</em> is optional. Any xml file can be sent to the compiler in this way. See the following screenshot for an example: |
| <br/> |
| <img src="img/aop_xml.gif" border="1"/> |
| <br/> |
| <br/> |
| In order to use aop.xml files for compile-time configuring of the weaver, you must add the <code>-xmlConfigured</code> |
| option under <em>Non-Standard Compiler Options</em> in the project's AspectJ Compiler options. |
| This work is described in <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=287459">bug 287459</a>. |
| <br/> |
| <br/> |
| This work is still experimental. We hope to receive some feedback so that compile time XML configuration of |
| the weaver can be improved. Please send all comments to the |
| <a href="http://eclipse.org/aspectj/userlists.php">AspectJ mailing list</a>, or to |
| <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/">bugzilla</a>. |
