[ovirt-devel] oVirt-specific aspect languages

Hi all,

I agree that it was an interesting article.

Actually you only need to learn some very basic stuff about pointcut
definition. The rest was pure Java for anything I ever needed (before,
after and around cases).

DSLs are a nice thing to have, and we can start by utilizing object
builders more :) Those are a kind of DSL too if nicely written. See
the latest email on this list from Roman Mohr that talks about Domain
Object Builders (or Spring Security Java configuration [2] to see a
more complicated example of how it is used elsewhere).
