✨ aj, aj5 🎀 — the launcher duo 💖

okay so bestie, this page is about aj and aj5 🦋 — two command-line launchers that run Java programs with load-time weaving (aka the AspectJ magic happening right as classes get loaded) 🔥. no cap, it's giving main character energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

aj, aj5 — command-line launchers for load-time weaving 🧚

💜 SYNOPSIS 💜

aj [Options]  [arg... ]

aj5 [Options]  [arg ... ]

🍓 DESCRIPTION 🍓

okay so the aj command runs Java programs in Java 1.4 or later 💖 it does this by setting up WeavingURLClassLoader as the system class loader, and that's how the load-time bytecode weaving gets done ✨ lowkey iconic 👑

the aj5 command runs Java programs too, but this time it uses the AspectJ Java5 JVMTI agent to do the load-time bytecode weaving 🦋 ngl the way that it works is so cool 🫶

the arguments you pass in are the same ones you'd use to launch the Java program itself 🌈 and bestie, you should define the environment variables CLASSPATH and ASPECTPATH before you do anything else 🙈💅
