This matcher would enable reuse of the semantics of +AspectJ pointcut matching without including the unnecessary code that is the weaver. 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. +<p>The result of this work is documented in <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=246125">bug 246125</a> +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. +<p>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). +<hr> +<a name="bugsfixed"/> +<h4>Bugs fixed</h4> +<p>The complete list of issues resolved for AspectJ 1.6.3 (more than 50) can be found with +this bugzilla query: +<ul> +<li><a href="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</a> +</ul> +<p>During 2008, there have been four AspectJ releases, fixing almost 200 issues. +<hr> +<a name="notable"/> +<h4>Notable bug fixes</h4> + +<ul> +<li>More improvements to the way AspectJ/AJDT communicate (251277, 249216, 258325) +<li>More ajdoc improvements (256514) +<li>Better support for non standard annotation style parameter ordering (164573, 219419) +<li>Fixed long standing issue with extending Spring SecurityInterceptor (252722) +<li>Ensure parameter annotations made on an ITD reach the target affected type (256669) +</ul> + +<hr> +<a name="whatsnext"/> +<h4>What's next?</h4> + +<p>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.
