Eclipse AspectJ Development Tools

Eclipse AspectJ Development Tools (AJDT) is a plugin for the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) that supports coding with AspectJ, an extension to Java. AspectJ allows developers to add modular features called "aspects"—such as logging, security, or transaction management—without altering the core code. AJDT provides tools for writing, testing, and managing these aspects, making it easier to develop flexible, maintainable software. In essence, it enhances Eclipse to facilitate effective aspect-oriented programming, allowing for cleaner separation of different concerns within a software application.
