Newbie: aspectj runtime [message #66763]

Hi,

I played around with ADJT and could get running some examples
and tests. I also tested with AOP in plug-in projects.
Then I realized that I have to add the aspectj runtime
to the manifest.mf as plug-in dependency.

So, why is this needed?
I thought the aspects are woven into the class files.
What does the runtime do?

I would like to use AOP in my plug-in projects but the
dependency to AJDT is not what I want.

Are there other solutions to get the runtime without
a dependency to AJDT? What are the best practices?

Regards,
Daniel

Hi,

Yes, aspects are woven into class files, but there will be references to
classes in the runtime library. This needs to be distributed with your
plugins. This is unavoidable, but you don't need a dependency on AJDT,
only on the very small org.aspectj.runtime plugin.

Regards,

Matt.
