Description Dmitri Mamrukov CLA 2010-03-23 12:10:44 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

When running a Main class that uses aspects/helper classes in a different package, java.lang.IllegalAccessError is thrown. It doesn't happen when the same aspects/helper classes reside in the package where the Main class is. This started to happen when I moved from jdk1.5.0_08 (where it worked for years) to jdk1.6.0_18.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import the project from aop-illegal-access-error.zip.
2. Running error.composite.Main throws java.lang.IllegalAccessError.
3. Running no_error.composite.Main doesn't.

I just imported the project and ran the error.composite.Main - got:

Is that what comes out when it works?

You didn't mention what version of AJDT you were using - can you retry on the latest?

please reopen if still an issue on the latest AJDT
