I'll jump on the thread. Alexander has been doing some awesome (overdue) work here, particularly around making it easier to keep pace with Java - this has become even more urgent as the release cadence for Java has accelerated. I don't see aspectj.dev as some rogue location, it is Alexander working with me (well not really supported enough by me, but we are communicating!) to get AspectJ to a better place for the future. I can see aspectj.dev replace repo.spring.io as the place for snapshot builds going forward. With releases going into central as usual. Alexanders work means a Java 15/16 release is very close, when my plan was to just support them all at the next LTS (17).
