This surely would complicate things given that the project might be using a lot of source from initial contributions, but possibly a way could be found to continuously refactor the same over a period of time. I am not sure whether one needs to actually build an AOP engine like JBoss. Leveraging existing infrastructure (AspectJ / AspectWerkz / Nanning) might not be a bad idea. ------=_NextPart_000_0009_01C35D32.3A1EC970 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
