Look at Nanning.Nice one! [Joe's Jelly]

Nanning is a simple AOP system for Java. Good to see that the Java community is moving forward on AOP without necessarily waiting on a the Java Community Process. While the lack of the syntactic sugar provided by attributes makes the code a bit clunky, the Nanning approach looks workable. Joe had some other comments on a simple AOP frameworked that he'd mocked up, contrasting with John Lam's CLR framework, which he described as "a bit overkill". My thinking was the same, John's work sounded very cool but not approachable by mere mortals. According to Joe, "Strangely aspects are not built into the CLR, but nearly all the features to create them are there". This could be an interesting area to experiment for a couple of days, maybe around the holidays when it (hopefully) gets slow.
