RE: [ajdt-dev] Back Port to 2.1?

I guess that the other thing to consider is whether it is feasible to make Ant builds generate a structure model in a way that AJDT 1.1.4 understands, and then simply use Ant to build.  This could be possible AJDT just needs the .ajsym files to go to the right place, and those can be generated when running in Ant.  Due to the points that Matt has outlined, the only way that I can imagine integrating recent versions of AspectJ with old Eclipse/AJDTs is via Ant.

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.
