       What's new in AJDT 1.2.1 and 1.3
     </h1>

 <p>Here are some of the more interesting or significant changes made to the
 AspectJ Development Tools since the 1.2 release (see the
 <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/whatsnew12/">What's new in AJDT 1.2</a>
 page for the changes in that release).</p>

 <p>AJDT 1.2.1 is for Eclipse 3.0 only and AJDT 1.3 is for Eclipse 3.1 only. The
 content of both releases has been kept as similar as possible. Therefore
 everything described here applies to both, except where noted otherwise.</p>

     <td>
 		This release of AJDT incorporates the final AspectJ 5 release,
 		which includes support for Java 5 features, enhancements to load-time weaving,
 		and support for an annotation-based development style for aspects.

 		<p>
 		Note however that AJDT 1.2.1 is for Eclipse 3.0, which doesn't support Java 5.
 		For this you need AJDT 1.3 for Eclipse 3.1.

 		     If you have an aspect open in the AspectJ editor, you can now position the

 		     have assigned to the "Open Declaration" action) to jump to the definition

              navigate to the pointcut definition.

 		     A new 'Filters...' button has been added to the Cross References view menu which can be
 		     accessed via the drop down toggle button on the toolbar or by pressing the key
 		     combination Ctrl + F10.

 		     <p>
 		     This presents a dialog containing the various types of relationship which can be excluded

 		     The same functionality is available in the quick form of the Cross References view

     <td>
     	The goal of this new view is to answer the "What's changed?" question in relation
         to the aspect-oriented structure of your application. Say you make a release of your project
         and then you do some refactoring such as renaming some methods, adding new methods, optimizing
         pointcuts etc. The advice in your project may now be matching in different places (or in
         additional, or fewer places) but in anything other than very small projects it would be hard to
         spot this purely from the editor markers, Cross References view, and Visualiser view offered by
         AJDT. These views show you the current state of the crosscutting but not how it has changed --
         this is where the Crosscutting Comparison view comes in.
