1. I would like to use aspects built with the latest AJDT 1.3.0 for LTW with the latest AspectJ development build but they are out of step and I get the exception below. 2. Instead I would like to use the new org.aspectj.weaver plugin but its JAR does not contain the required manifest identifying the Java 5 weaving agent 3. However even if I add the manifest myself the necessary org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.Agent class is missing. In fact all the classes from the loadtime5 project are missing. warning Register definition failed -- (BCException) malformed org.aspectj.weaver.PointcutDeclaration attribute java.io.EOFException malformed org.aspectj.weaver.PointcutDeclaration attribute java.io.EOFException org.aspectj.weaver.BCException: malformed org.aspectj.weaver.PointcutDeclaration attribute java.io.EOFException at org.aspectj.weaver.AjAttribute.read(AjAttribute.java:121) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelAttributes.readAjAttributes (BcelAttributes.java:42) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelObjectType.unpackAspectAttributes (BcelObjectType.java:205) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelObjectType.<init> (BcelObjectType.java:107) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelWorld.makeBcelObjectType (BcelWorld.java:239) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelWorld.resolveObjectType (BcelWorld.java:234) at org.aspectj.weaver.World.resolveObjectType(World.java:160) at org.aspectj.weaver.World.resolve(World.java:132) at org.aspectj.weaver.bcel.BcelWeaver.addLibraryAspect (BcelWeaver.java:144) at org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.ClassLoaderWeavingAdaptor.registerAspects (ClassLoaderWeavingAdaptor.java:197) at org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.ClassLoaderWeavingAdaptor.registerDefinitions (ClassLoaderWeavingAdaptor.java:131) at org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.ClassLoaderWeavingAdaptor.<init> (ClassLoaderWeavingAdaptor.java:96) at org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.Aj$WeaverContainer.getWeaver(Aj.java:78) at org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.Aj.preProcess(Aj.java:54) at org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.ClassPreProcessorAgentAdapter.transform (ClassPreProcessorAgentAdapter.java:52) at sun.instrument.TransformerManager.transform (TransformerManager.java:122) at sun.instrument.InstrumentationImpl.transform (InstrumentationImpl.java:155) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:620) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass (SecureClassLoader.java:124) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:260) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(URLClassLoader.java:56) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:195) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:268) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)
AJDT generates the contents of the org.aspectj.weaver/aspectjweaver.jar from the aspectjtools.jar which is created as part of the aspectj build. Unfortunately, this aspectjtools.jar doesn't contain the contents of the loadtime5 and weaver5 projects, or the manifest file. The solution is to unpack the contents of the aspectjweaver.jar created as part of the aspectj build to create the org.aspectj.weaver/aspectjweaver.jar. The reason we can't just copy this over is because the aspectj version contains some of the runtime classes which the plugin version doesn't need (as they are in the org.aspectj.runtime plugin).
The fix to the build script in the org.aspectj.ajde plugin has been checked into both the AJDT 1.2 and AJDT 1.3 streams. I'm waiting for a good aspectj build to regenerate the jars in the three plugins (org.aspectj.ajde, org.aspectj.runtime and org.aspectj.weaver).
This has been fixed and the resultant aspectjweaver.jar has been verified to contain the correct classes and manifest file. The builds which contain this fix are: AJDT 1.3: 20051011134207 AJDT 1.2: 20051007170626 I'm therefore closing this bug as fixed.
