Abstract

After reading the chapter, you should be able to explain the key concepts of collaboration-based design and feature-oriented programming, understand the key mechanisms of AspectJ and write simple aspects in this language, implement product lines with feature-oriented and aspect-oriented languages and their combination, discuss trade-offs between these and previous implementation techniques, contrast feature-oriented and aspect-oriented languages regarding their key mechanisms select a suitable implementation technique for a given product line, critically discuss the conflict between preplanning and obliviousness, and discuss strategies of developing feature-oriented extensions of other code and noncode languages.

Footnotes
1
There is an ongoing discussion on the role and goals of modularity (Ostermann et al. 2011); we use a liberal interpretation to which modules are a code structuring mechanism; see Sect. 3.​2.​4.
 
2
Jak’s keyword Super is similar to Java’s keyword super. While Super refers to the method that has been overridden by a class refinement, super refers to the method that has been overridden by a subclass. To avoid confusion, other feature-oriented languages use instead keywords such as original (Apel et al. 2009).
 
4
Note that AspectJ advice may bind to Java annotations, which makes it effectively a combination of an annotation-based and a composition-based approach.
 
5
Note that the original aspect has been split into two pieces (a base aspect and a subsequent refinement), which is discussed elsewhere (Apel et al. 2007).
