New project properties
In addition to the global preferences for the AspectJ compiler, you can now alter these settings individually for each project.
Related locations
Errors and warnings produced by declare error
and declare warning statements are displayed in the
problems view, and double-clicking on these entries opens the
editor at the location of the error or warning. Often the
declaration that produced these errors or warnings is also of
interest. You can now navigate to that declaration by
right-clicking on the gutter annotation, and selecting from the
"Go To Related Location" menu.
Also, this same mechanism is used by certain errors thrown by the AspectJ compiler. For example, a syntax error might relate to a source code location where some advice applies. In this case, that source location would appear in the problems view. But the syntax error might actually occur in the pointcut declaration. If that additional pointcut source location is present in the error issued by the compiler, it will now be shown in the "Go To Related Location" menu for the error gutter annotation.
Export AspectJ plugins
You can now export AspectJ-enabled plugins by right clicking
on a plugin project and selecting Export > Deployable
plug-ins and fragments with AspectJ support. (This wizard
uses the iajc Ant task instead of the
javac task.)
Java completion for .aj files
Code completion against Java types is now available for aspects contained in .aj files.
Gutter annotations
Gutter annotations are now shown for advice declared in aspects that are contained in JAR files, including where an abstract aspect is in a JAR file, and the concrete aspect is in a source file in a project. The resources show as "injar aspects" (and cannot be navigated to).
