[equinox-dev] Re: Eclipse Aspects

Hi,

That's indeed good news!

The difference in logging behaviour comes from the fact that Equinox  
Aspects applies load-time-weaving. Therefore weaving has nothing to do  
with starting or stopping bundles but with loading classes into the  
VM. When you start your bundle for the first time the classes are  
loaded and woven.

Caching indeed is optional. You should consider using the caching in  
production when you start and stop the framework (Equinox) often.  
Caching will store woven types and try to get them from the cache each  
time they are loaded.

You are right: If you want to supplement more than one bundle you have  
to separate these by comma.

Cheers
Heiko
