| AspectJ 5 provides a full set of reflection APIs analogous to the | |
| <tt>java.lang.reflect</tt> package, but fully aware of the | |
| AspectJ type system. See the javadoc for the runtime and tools APIs | |
| for the full details. The reflection APIs are only supported when | |
| running under Java 5 and for code compiled by the AspectJ 5 compiler | |
| at target level 1.5. | |

| The starting point for using the reflection apis is | |
| <tt>org.aspectj.lang.reflect.AjTypeSystem</tt> which | |
| provides the method <tt>getAjType(Class)</tt> which will | |
| return the <tt>AjType</tt> corresponding to a given | |
| Java class. The <tt>AjType</tt> interface corresponds to | |
| <tt>java.lang.Class</tt> and gives you access to all of the | |
| method, field, constructor, and also pointcut, advice, declare | |
| statement and inter-type declaration members in the type. | |
