 AspectJ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AspectJ is an aspect-oriented extension to the Java programming language created at Xerox PARC by Chris Maeda, who originally coined the term "aspect-oriented programming" (no one remembers exactly when).
A suite of tools designed specifically to work with AspectJ in the Eclipse Java IDE has been developed as another project in the Eclipse Foundation.
All valid Java programs are also valid AspectJ programs, but AspectJ also allows programmers to define special constructs called aspects.

 AspectJ and AspectWerkz to Join Forces
The @AspectJ annotations have been designed to be as close as possible to the AspectWerkz syntax, while still preserving the semantics of the AspectJ language.
In AspectJ 5 the AspectJ language is extended to support both a code style and an annotation style of development.
The key difference is that whereas AspectJ uses a syntax that complements Java as defined in the original JLS (Java Language Specification), AspectWerkz supports both annotation and XML based styles of development.

 Design Patterns in AOP - Jan Hannemann 2002+
AspectJ is a seamless aspect-oriented extension to Java, which means that programming in AspectJ is effectively programming in Java plus aspects.
In some cases this is reflected in a new solution structure with fewer or different participants; in other cases, the only the implementation of the classes in the originally proposed solution changes (for example by moving pattern code from the participants into an aspect).
For 12 of these, we developed reusable implementations that can be integrated into software systems as "library pattern aspects".

 AOP@Work: Introducing AspectJ 5
In a similar vein, when AspectJ determines that a pointcut may match a given join point but cannot apply the run-time test to be certain, then the pointcut is considered to match and the AspectJ compiler issues an "unchecked" warning to indicate that the actual matching cannot be checked.
AspectJ has to decide whether or not such a pointcut should match, even though it is lacking the information needed to make a definitive ruling.
His time is divided between developing tools and technology to support aspect-oriented programming (AOP), helping groups inside and outside of IBM to adopt and apply the ideas behind AOP, and writing and speaking on the theme of aspect-oriented software development.

 Test flexibly with AspectJ and mock objects
AspectJ's join-point model allows a module, called an aspect, to identify points in a program's execution (such as looking up an object from a JNDI context) and to define code that executes at those points (such as returning a mock object instead of proceeding with the lookup).
Although AspectJ does introduce a new programming model (aspect-oriented programming), the techniques in this article are easy to master.
By the end of the article you should have an appreciation of common unit-testing problems and their solutions, as well as a window into some of the interesting possibilities afforded by AspectJ and mock object testing.

 AspectJ, 0.8b5: Real-world AOP tool simplifies OO development- ADTmag.com
With AspectJ, a single developer was able to create a robust, modular trace aspect in a fraction of the time it would have taken without it.
One of the most useful features of AspectJ is its ability to create aspects on existing code without the need for refactoring.
One of our first uses for AspectJ was to add tracing to an existing code base.

 O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf - AspectJ Cookbook
Yet, although AspectJ is included with Eclipse, the increasingly popular open source IDE for Java, finding a practical and non-theoretical way to learn this language and other AOP tools and techniques has been a real problem.
Many developers are interested in AOP--especially in AspectJ, the open source extension of the Java programming language that explicitly supports the AOP approach.
If you're interested in how AOP is changing the way software is developed, and how you can use AspectJ to make code more modular, easier to develop, maintain, evolve and deploy, this is the book that really delivers.

 Gerard Davison's Weblog: Using AspectJ in JDeveloper
This seems to be caused by the AspectJ files confusing the package allocation code.
The second thing you can do it to get the debugger to ignore all of the core AspectJ classes as you will not normally want to step into the helper classes used to define joincuts and pointcuts.
I let the wizard copy the files to my project source directory and then alter the classpath entry to match the 'dest' directory that I know the ant build file already uses.

 PARC Cedes AspectJ Technology to Eclipse
For instance, to get "their mind around" problems in coding, developers will look at 1,000 lines of code at a time, not 10,000,000, which is implausible.
A toolkit crafted from the more broad software programming practice of Aspect Oriented Software Development (AOSD), AspectJ makes it easier for developers to deal with problems that occur in large software systems by separating out and centralizing software for crosscutting issues.
Hugunin's AspectJ Development Tools project provides Eclipse platform-based support for AOSD that seeks to deliver a consistent experience for Java users.

 The Aspects Blog: Engine strip-down and rebuild
The final piece of the puzzle is to work your way through the failing tests (thankfully, the AspectJ test suite gives us pretty good coverage after several years of development), figuring out what's changed and why, and any implications that may have.
We are very careful to ensure the changes we make in the JDT layer introduce no dependencies on AspectJ classes so that this will be possible.
These are checked into the main tree, and then work proceeds in a branch (it makes subsequent merges easier when we come to upgrade the compiler again).
