Re: [ajdt-dev] EnsureAJBuilder.ensureNoJavaBuilder(..) and APT 
That is an interesting idea to enable use of JDT-APT in AspectJ
projects.  I've prototyped the AspectJ compiler supporting APT in the
past, but it is a bit complicated so I never finished it to the point
where I wanted to ship it.  I guess if the project is suitably
configured, the java builder could be run in this way and then AspectJ
used to build any resultant output.

I suppose it has limitations - a Java file can't refer to an aspect,
since the java builder wouldn't be able to resolve the reference to an
aj file.  It is probably worth raising an enhancement request to track
doing this - perhaps mentioning a bit more about the configuration and
any limitations you see with the approach, so we can decide what to
do.

cheers,
Andy
