How to use aspects in Idea?

Any hint?

I have the simplest project on the world, containing one class with main()
method.
I want to write an aspect which will advise main method and print "foo"
before.
How can I do this? How can I add aspects to existing code?
Or...
- what can we do with aspects with 833?

Just create aspects in "aj" suffixed files, next to your java source,
then build and run the project.
Watch the compiler message dialogs, while building, and you'll notice
aspect related ones.

And just how does one create .aj files? Theres no "new aspect" option to
create a file, and I can't find any "add to file" option either.

Great, but when I created aspect file, I am not able to open it in Idea - it
displays internal error and doesn't open aspect file.
Btw. where is Aspects toolwindow I saw somewhere in earlier builds of Idea?
Even if I turned on
disabled toolwindows in preferences, there isn't any Aspects window....

Just did "create file" and added an aspect and it all compiles fine, but
doesn't run :(

public class Main {

public static void main( String[] args ) {

Main main = new Main();
main.test();
}



public void test() {
System.out.println("Test");
}

}

public aspect TestAspect {

pointcut construct(): within(Main) && execution( void test());

after(): construct() {
System.out.println("Aspectz!!!");
}

}


If I'm right, I'd expect to see "Aspectsz!!!!" get printed -after- "Test",
but all I see is "Test". mmm

I'm not sure if it is a bug, or just my misunderstanding, however, using
cflow(this(Main)) works, although I have no idea what that syntax actually
means :)

I just went to aspectj.org and started looking at some tutorials.

I've also added some task tracker issues for the asject stuff as well.

One question to the Jetbrainers - whats in the aspect_rt.jar - is that
"intellij's" aspectj runtime??? is there a runtime???

These are runtime classes that support aspect reflection: 'thisJoinPoint' etc. This jar should be in a classpath of your application
if it uses aspects.

Mmmm, is this an IntelliJ/AspectJ thing or a standard AspectJ thing?

The interfaces are standard for AspectJ

f i use build->rebuild project
then run my application without select"make project before running/debuging"
i can get the right answer

if i just run my application with selected "make project before running/debuging"
it will give me a exception that i get wrong

under the former circumstances,it generated a class file named "$$Trace_ASPECT_INSTANCE$$.class".
under the latter circumstances,it will not generate the class file as the former,or it deleted the file

so i guess
there must be something wrong
