AJBrowser presents a GUI for compiling programs with ajc
and navigating crosscutting structure.
</p><p>
The AspectJ Browser can edit program source files,
compile using the AspectJ compiler <tt>ajc</tt>
run a program,
and graphically navigate the program's
crosscutting structure.
For more information on <tt>ajc</tt>,
see <a href="ajc-ref.html">The ajc Command-line Reference</a>.
</p><p>
Launch the browser from the command line either
by typing "ajbrowser" to invoke the script in
<tt>{aspectj}/bin</tt>
(if AspectJ is installed correctly)
or by using the
<tt>aspectjtools.jar</tt> directly,
and specifying no arguments or some number of
build configuration files
(suffix <tt>.lst</tt>):
