When I run this , 
C:\aspectj1.2\self>ajc -sourceroots C:\self\a;C:\self\b;
I get error complaining about second set of dir where my aspect java files are 
there.
error as => error build config error: dir arg not permitted: C:\self\b

if I run as 
ajc -sourceroots C:\self\a;
then it runs cool, I think it should be a bug.

(run with jdk 1.4.2_05)

Thanks

If you put quotes round the path it will work:

ajc -sourceroots "C:\self\a;C:\self\b;"

However - the quotes should not be necessary if you are on Windows XP.  

Please can you check in your c:\aspectj1.2\bin\ajc.bat file.  You should find
that the last line (which invokes ajc) looks like this:

"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -classpath "%ASPECTJ_HOME%\lib\aspectjtools.jar;%JAVA_HOM
E%\lib\tools.jar;%CLASSPATH%" -Xmx64M org.aspectj.tools.ajc.Main %*

If it doesn't look like that, but looks like this:

"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -classpath "%ASPECTJ_HOME%\lib\aspectjtools.jar;%JAVA_HOM
E%\lib\tools.jar;%CLASSPATH%" -Xmx64M org.aspectj.tools.ajc.Main %1 %2 %3 %4 %5
%6 %7 %8 %9

then you need quotes around paths you pass to ajc.

Can you confirm the operating system you are on? and which of the above versions
of ajc.bat you have?

I can't quite remember when we fixed this but it was around the time 1.2 was
shipped.  I presume you are running 1.2 final rather than any of the development
builds we have been producing lately?

thanks.

Have you had a chance to check the contents of your ajc.bat file to see if it
uses the "%*" or "%1 %2 etc" notation?

I've just retried this with the latest 1.2.1 development build and the installed
batch file looks correct.  I'm going to close this bug - please reopen if you
continue to have problems...  Latest build is here:
