For a first test and the evaluation which compiler should be used for
the language extension we are planning it would be sufficient if abc
can compile Java5-code.

In the second step the abc is tested on some AspectJ examples.

At the moment I don't know whether the AspectJ examples contains
AspectJ1.5 (or higher) code.
