Downloads

The AspectJ compiler produces programs for any version of the Java platform (jdk1.1 and later). The compiler itself requires Java2 (1.4 or later) to run. Consult the FAQ for more details.  All releases are provided under the terms and conditions of the Eclipse.org Software User Agreement unless otherwise specified.

If you plan to use AspectJ inside the Eclipse IDE you can just download AJDT since it includes a bundled AspectJ compiler. More IDEs....

Installation

The .jar files should not be unzipped as they are self-extracting Java-based GUI installers.  On many systems they can be run directly by selecting "Open this file from its current location" or by double-clicking the downloaded file.  If you download the .jar files do not unzip them; instead invoke the GUI installer with the java -jar command on the corresponding file e.g.: java -jar aspectj-1.1.0.jar
