what is the status of spring Pitchfork ?

[usama_ra1]

i was looking at Pitchfork and the blog
Pitchfork with tomcat
and i find this a very interesting idea and i was thinking to use Pitchfork in one of my next project but i didn't find any update in this project for the last 6 months .
and there is no link for this project from www.springframework.org and interface21.com .
so my question is , Pitchfork still active project or not ?

If i'm not mistaken, Pitchfork already integrated into BEA Weblogic 10

isyak , thanks for your replay.
i know that Pitchfork become a part in BEA Weblogic 10. but if your looked at www.springframework.org or interface21.com you will not find any new/updates about Pitchfork and the last release of Pitchfork was in 11-Jan-2007.

so i don't know if this project is still active or not, or BEA now the responsible to maintain this project.
i ask these questions because i like the idea in http://springide.org/blog/2006/03/29...ing-on-tomcat/
and i think of using Pitchfork & acegi (With support for JSR 250 security part) in one of my next project.

I tried using Pitchfork lately... got a strange error using it with Spring 2.0.6...

... etc.

What is strange is that the method createAspectJAdvisors is not in the 2.0.6 jar, nor documented in the JavaDoc hosted by springframework.org, but I see older javadocs that do have that method...
