Jackie Noi created MCOMPILER-208:
------------------------------------
Summary: plexus-compiler-aspectj does not compile aspects using
Java5 language features
Key: MCOMPILER-208
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-208
Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.1
Environment: org.codehaus.plexus:plexus-compiler-aspectj:2.2
Reporter: Jackie Noi
When compiling Java5 Aspects I am getting the messages
"annotation type patterns are only supported at Java 5 compliance level or
above" or
"the @within pointcut expression is only supported at Java 5 compliance level
or above"
which results in my aspects not being compiled. The values set for <source> and
<target> have no influence on that behavior.
I debugged the plexus-compiler-aspectj plugin and realized that the aspectj
compiler internally decides whether or not to support Java5 language constructs
based on the
org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjCompilerOptions#behaveInJava5Way
boolean value. Default value is false.
My suggestion would be to set this value to true in
org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.ajc.AspectJCompiler#setSourceVersion for source
versions greater 1.4 using:
buildConfig.getOptions().behaveInJava5Way = true;
Doing so fixes the problem.
