Fix 436653: conditional aspect activation plus various polish
Modified test expectation system so it is possible to say
the test cares about one particular message and the rest
do not matter (prefix message string with '*') - crude but
quick.
Polished many places to exploit generics
Upgraded all the tests to work on Java8 - some serious changes
regarding ajdoc on Java8. Hopefully it has stayed backwards
compatible with earlier JDK versions (e.g. if using AspectJ 1.8.3+
with a JDK less than 8) but no explicit testing done for this.
fixes for 137235 (contributed by Ron): more intelligent logic for determining if a path entry is a jar/zip (don't just rely on suffix, some new .bndl files seem to be becoming popular...)
Support for "-Xset:name=value,name=value,name=value". The name/value data is stored in a properties object in the world and is accessible through getExtraConfiguration(). This will enable easier tailoring of weaver/world behaviour since you wont need to add new X option processing for every little thing. Should possibly only be used for tuning parameters.
support in ajc for parsing and error reporting of @AspectJ style aspect definitions (aspect, pointcut, advice only at this point). Also include the AddAtAspectJAnnotationsVisitor support. Switch off using -Xdev:NoAtAspectJProcessing.
Bugzilla Bug 75568 : ajc changes classfile timestamps even if compilation fails (regression)
and maybe:
