Owen Jacobson commented on MECLIPSE-558:
----------------------------------------
Is there a mailing list thread or something that explains why the default
ajdtVersion isn't "none"? From a dumb-user point of view, that seems like a
mistake: 2.5.1 generates working Eclipse projects and 2.7 doesn't, without
specific configuration to get back behaviour it used to have by default. If
there's some specific thing that Eclipse is doing or is about to start doing
that explains it, I'd love to know. :)
> Ignoring listed AspectJ dependencies
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: MECLIPSE-558
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-558
> Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AJDT support
> Affects Versions: 2.6, 2.7
> Reporter: Dale Peakall
>
> When AJDT support is enabled, the plugin ignores any dependencies that
> include the term "aspectj" in the artifactId: these include aspectjrt.jar,
> aspectjweaver.jar and aspectjtools.jar. Instead the project gets created
> with a link to the AspectJ Runtime Library "Folder" which just contains
> aspectjrt.jar. However, if the project depends on the other AspectJ
> artifacts, e.g. aspectjweaver.jar (because it uses load-time-weaving) it is
> broken and no amount of POM tweaking will get it back in there.
> Using the <ajdtVersion>none</ajdtVersion> is fine if the project doesn't
> include any aspects - but if it does it needs AJDT to compile the aspect -
> but also needs the other AspectJ artifacts (that were specified in the POM)
> to run Unit Tests etc.
> At a minimum the plugin should be modified to only replace aspectjrt.
> However, I am generally uncomfortable with the whole replacement concept. As
> long as projects specify the appropriate dependencies then AJDT will be able
> to compile and run the project (i.e. the special "AspectJ Runtime Library"
> folder is not required). This will also ensure that a consistent version of
> AspectJ is used (the version provided by Eclipse need not be the same as
> specified in the POM).
