AspectJ 1.6.11 Readme

1.6.11 milestone 1 available 10-Dec-2010

The full list of resolved issues in 1.6.11 is available +here.

Changes

1.6.11 includes a couple of interesting changes, in addition to a few bug fixes. + +

Annotation removal

Traditionally AspectJ has taken an additive approach, where methods/fields/supertypes/annotations can only be added to types. +Now, chaos would likely ensue if we allowed removal of supertypes, methods, etc, but we are seeing an increasing number of +requirements to do more with annotations. What kinds of thing? Basically remove existing annotations, or modify existing +annotations by changing their values. +1.6.11 includes a new piece of syntax that we are thinking might be appropriate for one of these scenarios. 1.6.11 supports this: +

declare @field: int Foo.i: -@Anno;
+

Notice the '-' in front of the annotation, meaning 'removal'. The whole construct means 'remove the @Anno annotation from the +int field called i in type Foo'. It is not yet supported on the other forms of declare @. + +

Intertype innertypes

More work has gone into this feature. It was originally added in 1.6.9 but the inability to use it with binary weaving +greatly reduced the usefulness. Fixes have gone into 1.6.11 to support binary weaving. What do we mean by intertype innertypes? +Here is an example: + +

class Foo {
+  public void m() {
+    System.out.println(Inner.i);
+  }
+}
+
+aspect X {
+  public static class Foo.Inner {
+    static int i = 34;
+  }
+}
+

Only static inner types are supported. + +

What's next before 1.6.11 final?

+Hopefully by the time AspectJ 1.6.11 finally ships we will have addressed the state persistence problem which has always meant +that on restarting eclipse you need to build all your projects. +

+And if we can get enough feedback on the AJDT reduced memory +settings (covered http://andrewclement.blogspot.com/2010/07/ajdt-memory-usage-reduction.html), we will look to enable it by default. +
