LoopsAJ: a join point for loops in AspectJ

Introduction
This project is an implementation of a join point for loops in AspectJ. This has been realised as part of Bruno Harbulot's Ph.D. at the University of Manchester, UK.

Download
The version that is available for download is LoopsAJ 0.3. Please keep in mind that this is a prototype implementation, which still contains a few "undesired features". I'll try to make a more recent version available soon.
Sources:
To build LoopsAJ 0.3, you will need:- the abc source code (version 1.0.2) and all its required libraries (all of this can be obtained from http://www.aspectbench.org/);
- an AspectJ compiler, the AJDT for Eclipse is known to work;
- the LoopsAJ source code. Follow the instructions in the README file.
Binaries:
You will still need the jar files for soot, jasmin, polyglot and java_cup, which you can get from the abc webpage (in Download, Section Binaries).- Get the compiler here: abc-1.0.2-loopsaj-0.3-compiler.jar
- Get the runtime libraries here: abc-1.0.2-loopsaj-0.3-runtime.jar
- Get the testcases here: loopsaj-0.3-testcase.zip
You may need to change the properties in "build.xml" (target "settings") to set to approriate paths to the jar files. "ant compile" and "ant run" should do the rest!
