Hi Manuel, I *try* to update at least the relevant documentation periodically - DeclareMixin is doc'd, parameter annotation matching has some doc. I probably still consider the Developers Notebook the most relevant doc these days (since that was basically written in the 1.5.0 timeframe) - and so that is what gets the most love when I have time. The kinds of features I've mentioned in the README for 1.6.9m1 may change before final inclusion in 1.6.9 final, so I wouldn't necessarily be doing a big doc update for them just yet.
Any assistance on documentation would be great! The wiki is here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/AspectJ (and AJDT has one too) but it only gets sporadic updates, I think Simone Gianni has written more of it than I have. I think right now the split is that the wiki is tips/tricks and techniques for using AspectJ, whilst the core documentation is held internally to the project, then published to the web at http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released Do you know how to edit the existing documentation? Perhaps I could create an article on the wiki that describes how to edit and build the documentation, that might lower the bar to making contributions. cheers, Andy 2010/4/17 Manuel Menezes de Sequeira <[email protected]>: > Hi Andy, > Are there any plans to update the documentation?
