metrics-aspectj-gradle-example

Purpose

This is to serve as a minimal-ish example of using metrics-aspectj, an aspect- oriented programming (AOP) adapter for Dropwizard Metrics.

The gradle-aspectj plugin and its related example were instrumental in adapting the maven-based instructions for metrics-aspectj.

Quickstart

git clone https://github.com/paegun/metrics-aspectj-gradle-example
cd metrics-aspectj-gradle-example
gradle run

The build should do the following:

1. Compile the java source using the default build task w/i gradle.
2. "Aspect Weave" the aspect byte code from the jars in the aspectpath into the byte code of the compiled source.

NOTE: the aspect-containing jar contains not only aspects but also code that is called from the weaved-in bits. So the jar must also be included w/i the run-time dependencies.
