[B][URL=http://www.netbeans.info/newsletter/story.php?id=1456]AspectJ Plugin Updated for NetBeans 6.0[/URL][/B]
The AspectJ Development Environment (AJDE) module extension to the NetBeans IDE 6.0 is based on AspectJ Version 1.5.3. The module lets you compile AspectJ and Java files within the IDE, browse the structure of your AspectJ program in a tree structure, and by means of annotation markers in the editor gutter and error stripe, set up a compile configuration that determines which files will be passed to the compiler. Both the Aspectj annotation based style and the Aspectj dialect are supported. The module provides basic editor support for the Aspectj dialect.
