AspectJ tools most notably contains the AspectJ compiler (AJC). AJC applies aspects to Java classes during compilation, fully replacing Javac for plain Java classes and also compiling native AspectJ or annotation-based @AspectJ syntax. Furthermore, AJC can weave aspects into existing class files in a post-compile binary weaving step. This library is a superset of AspectJ weaver and hence also of AspectJ runtime.

There is a newer version: 1.9.22.1

/**
 * Product providers define products (units of branding) which have been installed in
 * the current system.  Typically, a configuration agent (i.e., plug-in installer) will
 * define a product provider so that it can report to the system the products it has installed.
 * 
 * Products are normally defined and installed in the system using extensions to the
 * org.eclipse.core.runtime.products extension point.  In cases where
 * the notion of product is defined by alternate means (e.g., primary feature), an IProductProvider
 * can be installed in this extension point using an executable extension.  The provider
 * then acts as a proxy for the product extensions that represent the products installed.
