AspectJ is fun.  I'll take the opportunity to hijack this thread and
spew some brief non-java pontification.

I've been working with Ruby, and it's interesting to contrast what you
can and can't do in ruby compared to Java + aspectJ.

Mixins:  You can do whatever you want with include keyword in ruby.
Really cool.  Throw it in a module and use it wherever you want.

Pointcuts/Joinpoints:  Not there in ruby, and I don't know of any
equivalent (does anyone else?).  I really miss being able to say "do
this before this method and after that method".

Incredibly long parsing/precompiling times for aspectj-ified java
projects, especially in IDEs:  Don't miss it at all.  Ruby's
interpreted.  Edit and refresh baby!  :)

Done!

I'll post to the list again if any more copies arrive.  (None today...)
