Done. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=253784 This would be a big help to me, so if there is anything else I can do to get it going let me know. On Nov 4, 2008, at 11:51 AM, Andy Clement wrote: Can we open an enhancement request to track this? I'm interested the proposal, I d

Can we open an enhancement request to track this? I'm interested the proposal, I don't think it would be too hard to implement. But it needs a bit more thinking time spent on it, and I'd like to talk through some use cases in the enhancement request to make sure we aren't adding something that co

I'd be fine with that if the powers that be don't feel like it would be confusing since the Interface is not really a supertype and the mixed in methods are introduced into the implementing type itself. If that is a problem, however, what about one of these compromises which don't use "sup

Thanks Ramnivas. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who is interested in this type of feature. Since a few years have passed since that thread ended, what are your thoughts on how this could best be accomplished now? On Oct 31, 2008, at 4:17 PM, Ramnivas Laddad wrote: Dave, I

Dave, I had the same question a long time back, so I am pasting that discussion (obtained from the old list archive at http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/aspectj-home/archives/users.zip; I couldn't find a direct link to posts in it on the Internet). The follow ups have some id

2008-10-31 Thread Dave Whittaker
I've been using ITDs as a big time saver in defining common actions that can be performed on objects. This is great in that the default code defined in the aspect applies a majority of the time. The problem is that in the cases where it doesn't apply, almost every time what I want to do i
