Hi,

I wrote a custom annotation and have used my custom annotation in my java class. I was able to compile the same sucessfully with jdk1.5.0_06. I wrote an aspect with annotations and when tried to compile the same iam  getting errors. Pls find attached my sample code and the error which i am getting.

My Custom Annotation
********************

import java.lang.annotation.*;

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface MyAnnotation{
}

My Java Class using my Custom Annotation
****************************************
public class  AnnotationTestClass{

	static AnnotationTestClass objTest;

	public static void main(String[] args) 	{
		objTest = new AnnotationTestClass();
		objTest.methodA();
	}

	@MyAnnotation
	public void methodA(){
		System.out.println("This is methodA");
		objTest.methodB();
	}

	@MyAnnotation
	public void methodB(){
		System.out.println("This is methodB");
	}
}

My Aspect to cut the annotated methods
**************************************
public aspect AnnotationTestAspect{

	pointcut annotatePointcut() : call(@MyAnnotation * *(..));

	before() : annotatePointcut(){
		System.out.println("Joinpoint : " + thisJoinPoint);
	}
}

I have an execute.lst file as below,
AnnotationTestAspect.java
AnnotationTestClass.java
MyAnnotation.java

When compiled as follows, i get the following errors,

D:\Study\AspectJ\13-01-06>ajc @executeList.lst
D:\Study\AspectJ\13-01-06\AnnotationTestAspect.java:3 [error] annotation type patterns are only supported at Java 5 compliance level or above

public @interface MyAnnotation{
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^
In ajc.bat the java home is set to the home of jdk1.5.0_06.

Please let me what is the problem.
