For users of JDK 1.4 the bin directory of your AspectJ distribution 

contains a script "aj" to perform load-time weaving. Java classes on 

the CLASSPATH are loaded and woven with aspects also on the CLASSPATH 

which are declared in an aop.xml file. This file is either created by

the user or generated by the compiler. Alternatively aspects can be 

loaded from an explicitly defined ASPECTPATH. 



For users of JDK 1.5 the bin directory of your AspectJ distribution 

contains a script "aj5" to perform load-time weaving using an agent. 

This uses an aop.xml as described above.
