Why? +In some environments, for example Spring AOP, the weaving may be done in +an entirely different way and the default weaver included in +aspectjweaver.jar is just unnecessary code. Some users also find they +have trouble getting approval for using the 'aspectjweaver.jar' in their +projects because it includes a bytecode modification library, even when +they are not using that code. + +The result of this work is documented in +https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=246125[bug 246125] and +there is now a new jar file in the distribution called +org.aspectj.matcher.jar that includes a first pass at the matching code. +It is not quite as slimmed down as it could be but is a first pass that +includes no bytecode modification toolkit. + +To use this matcher standalone it simply requires an abstraction of some +type system to be plugged in. The matcher code can then be used to parse +standard pointcuts and answer questions about whether they match against +that type system. There is no documentation on how to do this yet, as we +don't think many users will be contributing new type systems, but +internally we are working on an Eclipse JDT type system abstraction that +will enable us to show matches in AJDT without actually compiling code +(currently the two type system abstractions we ship are bytecode based +and reflection based - both of which require compilation). + +''''' + +[[bugsfixed]] +=== Bugs fixed + +The complete list of issues resolved for AspectJ 1.6.3 (more than 50) +can be found with this bugzilla query: + +* https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=AspectJ&target_milestone=1.6.3&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=[Bugs +resolved] + +During 2008, there have been four AspectJ releases, fixing almost 200 +issues. + +''''' + +[[notable]] +=== Notable bug fixes + +* More improvements to the way AspectJ/AJDT communicate (251277, 249216, +258325) +* More ajdoc improvements (256514) +* Better support for non standard annotation style parameter ordering +(164573, 219419) +* Fixed long standing issue with extending Spring SecurityInterceptor +(252722) +* Ensure parameter annotations made on an ITD reach the target affected +type (256669) + +''''' + +[[whatsnext]] +=== What's next? + +The JDT World should be completed in the 1.6.4 timeframe and that will +surface as benefits in AJDT, possibly leading to better LTW tooling. +Some improved syntax for intertype declarations is a possible candidate +feature (see discussion in +https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/aspectj-users/msg10208.html[this +mailing list thread]).
