Acknowledgments

The phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants" may be a cliché, but in this case, it is undeniably true. I consider myself fortunate to have stewardship of the AspectJ and AspectJ Development Tools projects for a time, but the credit for the success of AspectJ belongs to many people including, but not limited to, Gregor Kiczales, John Lamping, Cristina Lopes, Bill Griswold, Jeff Palm, Erik Hilsdale, Jim Hugunin, Mik Kersten, Wes Isberg, Ron Bodkin, and Andy Clement.
