Abstract
A set of development tools is provided as part of an integrated development environment for supporting aspect-oriented programming such that aspects may easily be defined for embodying functionality which cross-cuts main program functionality in such a way that aspects transparently force their behavior on the main program. The editor and debugger of the integrated development environment embody functionality for accommodating this transparency.
