Re: [ajdt-dev] Installing latest AJDT/AspectJ build
If you find you like an AJDT build and want to use it in the surrounding environment you should just be able to put ajde.jar from the org.aspectj.ajde 
plugin ahead of your aspectjtools.jar *from a recent AspectJ download*.
Ah, so I need to use both! I'd figured most of the rest out, but when I tried using ajde alone, the ant support exploded on me.
I'm not sure you'll see such great build time improvements outside of the IDE as you have seen inside the IDE as the enhancements you saw yesterday 
were kind of on the interface between the two.
Well, that may be true. I don't actually care though, I just need my ant build and my AJDT build to produce compatible class files since I often mix classes from both in my development environment.
BTW, should I raise bugs for things I find in these developer builds? For instance, the compiler crashes with an NPE on unimplemented abstract methods in a class. Is that something that deserves a bugzilla report, or are the builds considered too unstable to report against?

Alex's original question was slightly different to Nicks question.  Alex asked about integrating the most recent AspectJ dev build into AJDT.  Nick asked about using the AspectJ embedded in the latest AJDT outside of Eclipse. 

99.9% of the time, the DEV jar from the aspectj download page is
always up to date - more frequently up to date than AJDT since the
AspectJ build is released automatically post build (if it passes the tests) whereas we do some basic testing of each AJDT dev build before releasing 
it to the masses.
Inside org.aspectj.ajde is ajde.jar - this is a repackaged version of the 
aspectjtools.jar that comes with an AspectJ standalone download.

Nick,

Alex,
The bit of ANT to construct a new ajde.jar from an aspectjtools.jar is
simply:

 <unzip dest="${ajde.build.dir}" src="aspectjtools.jar" />
 <delete includeemptydirs="true">
         <fileset dir="${ajde.build.dir}">
                 <exclude name="org/aspectj/**/*.*" />
         </fileset>
 </delete>
 <zip destfile="ajde.jar">
         <fileset dir="${ajde.build.dir}" />
 </zip>
However ... be very careful when reporting bugs if you have modified your 
setups ... we need to know what you have been doing.

I do plan to add dates to the dev builds of AspectJ that we create for
download - just haven't done it yet.

Andy.

 Hi Nick!
Not so far ago I have asked the same question (integrating last AspectJ development thread). It seems that with the help of the ant build scripts it would be possible. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to try to do this. Now, being 2 of us I will increase the priority ;-).
