====== Tracing: Simple output ======

**Task:** Pass the suite ''tests.SimpleTraceOutput''.

Write an aspect to log the execution of all public methods in the ''figures'' package (not its subpackages). Write a message into the log panel with the static ''write(String)'' method from the ''Log'' class. This message should be the exact string representation of the join point, as obtained through ''thisJoinPoint.toString()''.

<note tip>
Besides ''thisJoinPoint.toString'', use primitive pointcut designators ''execution'' (and optionally ''within'').
</note>

<note>
You might remember ''thisJointPoint'' from [[basics:ex2|The Basics: Exercise 2]].
</note>

With your aspect you should be able to pass the tests of suite ''tests.SimpleTraceOutput''.

----

After you have completed the exercise, remove your aspect from the build path; then continue with [[tracing:ex2|Exercise 2]].
