AspectJ libraries

AspectJ consists of the following main artifacts, the more recent versions of which can all be found on Maven Central and consumed using build tools like Maven, Gradle etc.:

• org.aspectj:aspectjrt - the AspectJ runtime
• org.aspectj:aspectjweaver - the AspectJ weaver
• org.aspectj:aspectjtools - the AspectJ compiler
• org.aspectj:aspectjmatcher - the AspectJ matcher

Occasionally, an AspectJ developer might deploy a snapshot release (development version) of the above libraries on https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots. Adding this URL as a snapshot repository to your build configuration enables you to consume snapshots, if you need them, e.g. to re-test fixed bugs or test unreleased new features.

AspectJ distribution installer

If you need a full AspectJ distribution with the main libraries (runtime, weaver, compiler), command line tools and documentation, please download the executable JAR installer for the release of your choice.

Since release 1.9.7, you can download installers from the AspectJ GitHub releases page. Historical release installers can be found in the list below.

The installer JAR should not be unzipped, as it is a self-extracting Java-based GUI installer. On many systems, it be run directly by selecting "Open this file from its current location" or by double-clicking the downloaded file. Otherwise, simply call java -jar aspectj-1.9.21.jar (replace the version according to your needs). If you wish to install AspectJ into a protected location, e.g. c:\Program Files\Java\AspectJ on Windows, you might need to run the Java command from an elevated prompt ("run as administrator").

For information about how to use AspectJ with build tools and IDEs, please check this overview.
