Аннотация:Separation of concerns and modularity are key elements of software engineering. The work described here presents a combination of two proven techniques that help improve both of these elements: the Eclipse Core Runtime Platform, which introduces plugins to Java programming as a kind of module concept on top of packages, and aspect-oriented programming using AspectJ, which aims to improve the modularity of crosscutting concerns. The work presents a combination of these two technologies in an AspectJ-enabled version of the Eclipse Core Runtime Platform. Unlike the standard implementation of the Eclipse Core Runtime Platform, the AspectJ-enabled implementation allows aspects to modularize crosscutting concerns beyond the boundaries of plugins (without the need for recompilation across plugins). It allows crosscutting concerns to be modularized by means of aspects and plugins while using the enhanced but compatible version of the Eclipse Core Runtime Platform as promoted by the Eclipse project.
