One thing if for sure: the java syntax was not designed to be aspect orientable. so every solution will be partially hacky. We have to accept his until the new best-of-breed language comes around.
I dunno. I think javadoc tags are perfect for the job of declaring metadata (which is an independent concern of aspects).
Aspects are completely different and *may* choose to use the rich data, may be hardwired, may be application configured etc. I also prefer to have aspects at boundaries.
Given that we are mainly doing COP that mostly occurs at interfaces which is perfect given that interceptors + dynamic proxies can fill that gap.
Agreed on the general concept that (metadata-capable) COP != AOP (can we say that AOP extends COP? maybe not even that).
