AJDT 2.1.2 - New and Noteworthy

Overview Most of the work in this release has gone towards our support for Intertype Inner Types.

Intertype Inner Type support AspectJ 1.6.11 has a new language feature, Intertype Inner Types (ITITs), which allows for the declaration of static inner types inside of an aspect with a specific target type. In the following screenshot, there is an ITIT defined in the TrafficCalculator aspect, which is being used in the CityIntegrationTest class.



AJDT provides editing support for ITITs. In 2.1.2, we provide:
  • Content assist:
  • Hover support:
  • Navigation:
  • Push-in Refactoring:
