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: +<pre><code>declare @field: int Foo.i: -@Anno; +</code></pre> +<p>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 @. + +<h3>Intertype innertypes</h3> +<p>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: + +<pre><code>class Foo { + public void m() { + System.out.println(Inner.i); + } +} + +aspect X { + public static class Foo.Inner { + static int i = 34; + } +} +</code></pre> +<p>Only static inner types are supported. + +<h3>What's next before 1.6.11 final?</h3> +<p> +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. +<p> +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. +<h4> +<!-- ============================== --> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/docs/dist/doc/index.html b/docs/dist/doc/index.html index 8b9588421..6ec7d2d6f 100644 --- a/docs/dist/doc/index.html +++ b/docs/dist/doc/index.html @@ -138,6 +138,7 @@ <tr> <td>README's </td> <td>Changes and porting guide for AspectJ + <a href="README-1611.html">1.6.11</a>, <a href="README-1610.html">1.6.10</a>, <a href="README-169.html">1.6.9</a>, <a href="README-168.html">1.6.8</a>, |
