Pre and post condition validation with OVal as intruments of software architecture

I have for the past couple of weeks been fiddling around with OVal – the object validation framework for Java™.
Setting up a project to utilize OVal for the first time wasn’t easy, as you can read in my post “Problems with IntelliJ AspectJ plugin”.
I’ve created a simple Mavenized project, which should ease setting up, testing and getting an impression of the potential of OVal.
