Quick clarification for (and thanks to for pointing to the Eclipse docs): the "Deploy plug‑in" workflow on the Eclipse help pages is aimed at people building Eclipse plug‑ins. You do not need that to install AJDT. The simplest ways to get AspectJ support are via the Eclipse Marketplace or the AJDT update site; AJDT documents version compatibility and install options on its project page (AJDT homepage) and the Marketplace entry is a one‑click route ().

Try this:

  1. Use Help -> Eclipse Marketplace, search "AJDT" or "AspectJ Development Tools", install and restart.
  2. Or use Help -> Install New Software -> Add... and use the AJDT update site (see the AJDT page above). If you downloaded a zip, use "Add -> Archive..." and point to the zip.
  3. After restart: File -> New -> Other... -> AspectJ -> AspectJ Project to create a project. To convert an existing Java project: right‑click project -> Configure -> Convert to AspectJ Project.

If AJDT items still do not appear, check Help -> About Eclipse -> Installation Details to confirm AJDT is installed, and open Window -> Show View -> Error Log for any plugin load errors. Also ensure the AJDT release matches the Eclipse version in use; mismatched versions are a common cause of missing menus or load failures.
