Re: [aspectj-dev] Can I intercept before a class is load time weaved

I haven't tried it, but from the code this looks like it would work

<weaver options="-XaddSerialVersionUID"/>

if that doesn't work, let me know and we'll fix it up.  Sorry I didn't
think of this earlier when you were describing your problem, it is
what the feature was designed for.

cheers
Andy
