We're excited to announce a significant development for AspectWerkz, AspectJ, and the world of aspect-oriented programming.

The AspectJ and AspectWerkz projects have agreed to work together as one team to produce a single aspect-oriented programming platform building on their complementary strengths and expertise. The first release from this collaboration will be AspectJ 5, which extends the AspectJ language to support an annotation-based development style in addition to the familiar AspectJ code-based style. AspectJ 5 will also provide full AOP support for the new Java 5 language features. It will continue to be developed as an open-source project on eclipse.org.

Drone is a Java IRC bot written with the RIFE framework. It has a modular API that makes it possible to easily extend and customize the active feature set.

It sports a modern web administration interface to handle all common tasks and a public logging section with an advanced web search. It also provides a remote IRC messaging REST API to allow easy integration with notification services. Installation is done by simply dropping a war in your servlet container or by running it straight from the standalone distribution.

The highlights of this release are:

• a powerful web search for the logs with highlighting
• a remote IRC messaging user interface
• automatic reconnection after server downtime
• bugfixes
