Craig, If you want to weave Eclipse then a better approach would be load-time weaving. Please take a look at the Aspects Equinox Incubator http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/aspects/index.php. You can pick and choose the plug-ins that need weaving rather than trying to build the whole platform from scratch.

To this end, I thought of running Eclipse in a debugger to understand its dynamic behavior. If that would be the case, I think it would be useful to have some sort of tracing and/or checkpointing support as well as logging. Because of these issues, AspectJ came to mind because aspects would be a good way to implement these features. At this time I desire to know, can Eclipse 3.2 be built from source using AspectJ? I am the Ant build files would need to be altered. Currently, I am have trouble compiling Eclipse 3.2 using regular Java, getting tens of thousands of errors. I addressed this problem with another newsgroup, but additionally if anyone has an idea here, I would appreciate it. Also, could someone comment on the feasibility of implementing the above features using AspectJ?
