The paper describes Demeter/Java at an early stage. In the mean-time it has been improved with Adaptive Methods; and an Aspect weaver and support for COOLand RIDL; see http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/DemeterJava/use/latest-demjava/CHANGES and http://www.ccs.neu.edu/research/demeter/DemeterJava/UserManual/

Adaptive Plug-and-Play Components for Evolutionary Software Development are a recent conceptual improvement to Adaptive Methods.
