Hi. So, to clear things up... You may introduce sth in AspectJ's aspect to some class without specifying pointcut (what for would you specify it?). With AspectJ; to apply advice you always have to specify some kind of pointcut/join point. In AspectJ the only possibility to apply some advice is by defining it on some pointcut (but AspectJ people work on annotations). About recompiling: of course you have to recompile classes (with ) whenever you change sth in AspectJ. But the same goes for JBossAOP (if you don't use custom classloader). Even if you add some @metadata to some method - you still need to recompile the class. But, is there some problem with recompiling?
