Question

Let’s say I have few aspects, which I have already compiled, and now I just want to compile single source file, but without recompiling the aspects, since it takes a lot of time.
Is there any way to do so?

For example, I have the following:

• Trace.aj
• Log.aj
• Test.java

All of them were compiled during my “build-all”, and now I’ve changed Test.java and wants to recompile it using the (already compiled) aspects.

Use load-time weaving.

Here’s how to do it in eclipse:
