Well, we do already support pointcut declarations in interfaces:
interface I {
pointcut p(): execution(* main(..));
}
aspect X {
before(): I.p() {
System.out.println(">>");
}
}
public class Code {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
}
}
But I suppose if you especially mean annotation style pointcuts in interfaces
(as in your example if() pointcut). We certainly could improve the story here.
cheers,
