Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox Aspect Incubator

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

We are in the middle of refactoring the adaptor in
the org.eclipse.osgi.
We are trying to add hooks to the adaptor implementation
to allow the 
aspect project to add hooks which can do the byte-code
weaving.  You 
should look at bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114968
There will be some porting that you need to do once
we drop the new
adaptor in.
