 <h1>AspectJ Documentation and Resources</h1>
 <p>
     AspectJ <sup><small>tm</small></sup>
     is a seamless aspect-oriented extension to
     Java<sup><small>tm</small></sup>.
     The compiler and development tools are available under
     an open-source license, require Java 1.3 to run, and produce
     code that runs in JDK 1.1 and later VM's.

 <a name="paths"></a>
 <h3>Suggested paths for those new to AspectJ</h3>
 <p>
    To learn the AspectJ language, read the
     <a href="progguide/index.html">Programming Guide</a>,
     keeping the <a href="progguide/semantics.html">Semantics appendix</a>
     nearby as the best reference for AspectJ usage.
     Focus initially on the join point model and
     pointcuts, concepts AOP adds to OOP.
     To read about how the <a href="examples/">examples</a> work,
     see the <a href="progguide/examples.html">Examples </a> section
     in the <a href="progguide/index.html">Programming Guide</a>.
     View and navigate the crosscutting structure using
     the <code>ajbrowser</code> structure viewer, as described in
     the <a href="devguide/ajbrowser.html">AspectJ Browser</a> section of
     the <a href="devguide/index.html">Development Environment Guide</a>.
 <p>
     To start using AspectJ with your own code,
     modify the example aspects to apply to your classes.
     As you learn,
     use the compiler's <code>-Xlint</code> flags to catch some common
     mistakes.  (Understand that the
     <a href="progguide/implementation.html">current implementation</a>
     is limited to code the compiler controls.)
 <p>
    To plan how to adopt AspectJ into a project, read the
     <a href="progguide/index.html">Programming Guide</a>
    on development- and production-time aspects
    and the <a href="faq.html">FAQ</a> entries for
    <a href="faq.html#q:startUsingAJ">How should I start using AspectJ?</a>,
    <a href="faq.html#adoption">Deciding to adopt AspectJ</a>,
    the Development tools sections
    (<a href="faq.html#q:integrateWithDevTools">one</a>,
     <a href="faq.html#devtools">two</a>), and
    <a href="faq.html#q:opensource">AspectJ as open-source</a>.

 Enjoy the language!

	<h3>Suggested paths for those new to AspectJ</h3>
	<p>
	To learn the AspectJ language, read the
	<a href="progguide/index.html">Programming Guide</a>,
	keeping the <a href="progguide/semantics.html">Semantics appendix</a>
	nearby as the best reference for AspectJ usage.
	Focus initially on the join point model and
	pointcuts, concepts AOP adds to OOP.
	To read about how the <a href="examples/">examples</a> work,
	see the <a href="progguide/examples.html">Examples </a> section
	in the <a href="progguide/index.html">Programming Guide</a>.
	View and navigate the crosscutting structure using
	the <code>ajbrowser</code> structure viewer, as described in
	the <a href="devguide/ajbrowser.html">AspectJ Browser</a> section of
	the <a href="devguide/index.html">Development Environment Guide</a>.
	<p>
	To start using AspectJ with your own code,
	modify the example aspects to apply to your classes.
	As you learn,
	use the compiler's <code>-Xlint</code> flags to catch some common
	mistakes. (Understand that the
	<a href="progguide/implementation.html">current implementation</a>
	is limited to code the compiler controls.)
	<p>
	To plan how to adopt AspectJ into a project, read the
	<a href="progguide/index.html">Programming Guide</a>
	on development- and production-time aspects
	and the <a href="faq.html">FAQ</a> entries for
	<a href="faq.html#q:startUsingAJ">How should I start using AspectJ?</a>,
	<a href="faq.html#adoption">Deciding to adopt AspectJ</a>,
	the Development tools sections
	(<a href="faq.html#q:integrateWithDevTools">one</a>,
	<a href="faq.html#devtools">two</a>), and
	<a href="faq.html#q:opensource">AspectJ as open-source</a>.
	</p>
	<p>
	Enjoy the language!
