A commercial project which uses Demeter/Java at ScanSoft, a Xerox subsidiary. They sell products like TextBridge and Pagis.
One key benefit of this project is that it makes it easier to use COM. You only need to learn the aspect language and not all the details of COM. To turn your C++ classes into COM components you write simple aspect descriptions and the tool takes care of the rest.
This project is an application of AOP. The aspect which is factored out could be called interoperability aspect or COM aspect.
This project (completed in June 1998 by Andrew Miller from ScanSoft) shows the versatility of Demeter/Java. The project uses an external JavaCC C++ grammar and not the Demeter/Java generated parser. It also uses several user defined Java classes. Demeter/Java is basically used to implement a library of traversals and visitors in a structure-shy way.
