String[]

New distribution:
- To provide better support for Java 5, you now have to use aspectwerkz-jdk5-*.jar when running
Java 5. When running Java 1.3/1.4, you must use aspectwerkz-jdk14-*.jar. In the previous release,
this jar was not required for Java 1.3/1.4 but this leaded to some issues when running with Java 5, so we made
it explicit.
New features and changes in release 2.0.RC1
AspectWerkz 2.0.RC1 is the first release candidate of the 2.x serie.
A lot of improvement have been added (API, semantics, performance) and some 1.x features
are not compatible with 2.x.
Read more about the 2.x specific changes in this section.
