I just started looking into AspectJ and AJDT, so pardon me if this is a
silly question, but how can I create an aspect in Eclipse that has an *.aj
extension instead of a *.java extension?
Thanks,
Rich

This is a feature we hope to support via preference setting that will
control what file extension the AspectJ Wizard uses when it creates
aspects. Unfortunately that ability has proven surprisingly difficult to
implement and we had to drop the feature temporarily from the last release.
The only way to get a ".aj" extension right now is to create the aspect as
normal (".java" extension) and then go into the resources view, where
refactor->rename gives you the opportunity to change the file extension
(whereas the same action from the package explorer does not).

I saw this is already an open issue after I made the post.

Isn't it funny the world sometimes works that way? :-)

Bummer.

Yep, I did discover that. It's a pain, but it does seem to work.
There's another way I might solve this: put all of our aspects into a
package with "aspect" in it. Another might be to just allow AspectJ code
and Java code intermingle; however, keeping the two separate for as long
as possible was one of our "risk mitigation" strategies...
Thanks again!
