Description Andrew Eisenberg

It is possible to define a public static final method in an ITIT, but references to that method are an error.  

Consider this:


privileged aspect City_Roo_Op4j {
    public static class City.Keys {
        public static final int x() { return 9; } 
    }
}

class City { }

This compiles fine, but create this class and there is a compile error on the reference to x():

public class Test {
	public static void main(String[] args) { 
		City.Keys.x();   
	}
}

I've considered it... but am having real trouble getting it to fail.

Are the aspect and City in the same file or in different files? (I've tried both options, didn't make a difference)

Where you say 'create this class' - are you creating it and then performing an incremental compile with what was already compiled or are you compiling them altogether?

Maybe attach a failing project with instructions (if this was done in AJDT, which I presume it was)

Strange...can't reproduce this now.  I'll re-open if I see it again.
