<h1>AspectJ 5 Readme</h1>
<p>AspectJ 5 introduces several important changes to the language and tools
-in order to support Java 5, and to extend the capabilities of AspectJ in
-general. These changes are too extensive to describe in a simple readme file,
-so instead we have created the <a href="adk15notebook/index.html">AspectJ 5
-Developer's Notebook</a> to describe them.</p>
-
-<p>The 1.5.0 M1 milestone release supports a subset of the changes described
-in the developer's notebook. Currently implemented features are:</p>
-
-<ul>
- <li><a href="adk15notebook/varargs.html">Varargs</a>
- <li><a href="adk15notebook/enumeratedtypes.html">Enums</a>
- <li><a href="adk15notebook/covariance.html">Covariance</a>
- <li><a href="adk15notebook/annotations.html">Annotations</a>, with the following
- exceptions: declare annotation is not yet implemented, and the @pcd forms
- can be used for matching, but not yet for binding of formals.
- <li><a href="adk15notebook/autoboxing.html">Autoboxing</a>
- <li>Bridge methods created by Java compilers to support generics are treated
- as synthetic and have no join points.
-</ul>
-
-<p>These are implemented as changes to the weaver, not the front-end compiler.
-The 1.5.0 M1 release cannot be used to <i>compile</i> code using Java 5
-features, but can be used to weave (inpath) Java classes created by a Java 5
-compiler.</p>
+in order to support Java 5 and extend the capabilities of AspectJ in
+general. For language changes, see <a href="adk15notebook/index.html">AspectJ 5
