How can Spring AspectJ weaving work without the -javaagent vm option?

Question

I understand Spring avoids using the -javaagent vm option in order to get its AspectJ load time weaving to work and relies instead on a classloader to start the age

Answer 1

Here a library that initializes aspectj and spring-aspects at runtime by injecting instrumentation: https://github.com/subes/invesdwin-instrument

So no more need for explicit -javaagent argument.
