<html:div>AspectJ major versions match up with Java versions. Currently Java is at 1.6 and so AspectJ
is also at 1.6. The AspectJ project then releases service refreshes to that major version every
- few months. During 2008 there have been 1.6.0 and 1.6.1, and we are planning two more
- before year end. This is the release model we plan to continue with. </html:div>

<html:div>AspectJ always maintains that HEAD will build clean and pass all the tests we have (currently

+ around 4200). This means the development builds created from HEAD after every commit are always at least

- <description><html:div>One factor limiting the take up of AspectJ is that when converting a Java project to an AspectJ project

+ in this area is the need to persist project state between eclipse restarts - otherwise a costly full build is necessary
