Equinox Aspects 1.0 Milestone 1 is there

Posted in Eclipse, Heiko Seeberger, aspectj, osgi | Friday, August 8th, 2008 | No Comments »

I am very happy to announce that we made it: Equinox Aspects 1.0 Milestone 1 is there. AspectJ and OSGi are coming closer to each other.

There are some important changes and new features. Please visit the New and Noteworthy page for detailed information.

Most notably the bundle names have changed to "org.eclipse.equinox.weaving.*". And now OSGi dynamics are supported much better than before.

Martin and me will appreciate your feedback a lot: Please use the equinox-dev mailing list or bugzilla.

Equinox Aspects success story

Posted in Eclipse, Heiko Seeberger, aspectj, osgi | Saturday, May 31st, 2008 | No Comments »

Some days ago volume 15 of the (German) Eclipse Magazin was published. Together with Harald Griesbeck from Allianz (major German insurance company) I wrote an article about how Equinox Aspects was employed in a strategic project of  Allianz in order to implement performance logging, a typical cross cutting concern.

As Martin Lippert and me had put a lot of work into Equinox Aspects over the last months, it feels good to see such a success story. For everybody who is considering using Equinox Aspects this is a sound proof of its maturity and usability.
