@Configuration with AspectJ instead of CGLIB [SPR-7484]

[spring-projects-issues]

Keith Donald opened SPR-7484 and commented

Currently use of @Configuration requires cglib when defining scoped beans. In general, cglib is not needed when AspectJ is already being used. As a user, I'd like to be able to use the full-power of @Configuration with AspectJ, and without being required to add cglib to my classpath.

Resolving as "Won't Fix" for now given that (a) there hasn't been much further demand for this, (b) maintaining a parallel implementation of @Configuration is not trivial and we have limited resources, and (c) with Spring Framework 3.2.0 CGLIB (3.0) is now repackaged and inlined within spring-core, meaning that the inconvenience/extra jars argument is moot.
