RE: [abc] AAA keynote draft

Hi, Oege.

Just a few comments:

Slide 36: here you could probably mention that recently they added
hasMethod/hasField (which bad enough works only in declare annotation)
and also thought about synchronized pointcuts
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=123759). So even the ajc
gang sometimes is not happy with the restrictions imposed by the JP
model.

I don't understand slide 39. What has Jimple to do with encapsulation?
The user never sees Jimple anyway!? So what are you trying to say?

In general I find that the OM stuff comes up very abrupt and
unmotivated. It really looks like a second, unrelated presentation to
me. But maybe you can overcome this impression by speech... Also, this
part is really a little short. I am unsure if it's gonna be really
beneficial to the audience.

Eric
