It seems that the development of the AspectJ plugin (http://aspectj4netbean.sourceforge.net) has been stopped. It would be nice if the plugin would work with NB 5.0
Additionally it would be nice if NB would at least support the editing of aspects. As they are Java files but their declaration is different to a java class, the internal parser will report errors immediately. If the parser would recognize a "public aspect MyAspect" that would already be of great help
before AspectJ support is available you can use the annotation based development style. For more Information see: http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/adk15notebook/ataspectj.html
It would probably get more traction were it not already a project of another community. The site referenced says this is part of the AspectJ Community. It is also under another license than NB. So, it seems either something would have to be worked out to obtain this code, or another entire complete project based on AspectJ would have to be completed. IssueZilla is for NB only. Do you mean to make a module "like" this for NB, and not what it appears to convey that NB developers should work on this module?
Using annotation based development is a good idea, but unfortunately this requires Java 1.5 which we cannot use at the moment :(
Ramon Ramos did some work on the AspectJ plug-in: http://jroller.com/page/ramlog?entry=using_the_aspectj_plug_in
Guys please vote for the AspectJ, most if you just left some comments... VOTE...
