Class AspectAnnotationParser

java.lang.Object
  org.codehaus.aspectwerkz.annotation.AspectAnnotationParser

public class AspectAnnotationParser
extends Object

Extracts the aspects annotations from the class files and creates a meta-data representation of them.
Note: we are not using reflection to loop over fields, etc, so that we do not trigger nested loading, which could be potential target classes.
