Hi Matt,
I think the main areas that would be integrating
more recent versions of AspectJ and providing some level of compatibility and
key bug fixes so developers could see how aspects developed in Eclipse 3.x AJDT’s
impact code, even if they lack the niceties of editing (e.g., making
annotations work properly etc.).

Hi Ron,
It's simply
not possible, in anything approaching a complete way. Much of AJDT's
functionality is bound up tightly with Eclipse, and not only has the Eclipse
code changed significantly between 2.1 and 3.0, many of the extension points
and techniques we use were not available there. The best you could do would be
to target very specific bug fixes and areas of functionality, and consider
whether those in isolation could be back ported - some could, some couldn't.
Are there any particular features they're looking for?
Regards,
Matt.
