Description Piers CLA 2008-11-04 08:30:43 EST 
I'm using eclipse europa 3.3

The below was giving an error about dimensions due to the boolean type parameter.

static private aspect MockTrueReplacer extends ObjectReplacer<boolean>{ ....}

So I changed it to this (boolean -> Boolean)

static private aspect MockTrueReplacer extends ObjectReplacer<Boolean>{ ....}

Hers is the code for Object Replacer

public abstract aspect ObjectReplacer<T>
{
	abstract pointcut cut();
	
	public T rv;
	

	T around() :
		cut()
		{
		return rv;
		}
		
}


The following error occured, I was not able to reproduce it.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.compiler.lookup.EclipseResolvedMember.getTypeDeclaration(EclipseResolvedMember.java:175)

Compile error: NullPointerException thrown: null

I can't recreate either.  However, that method getTypeDeclaration() has been modified recently to cope with nulls - it cannot NPE any more so this cannot happen (I bravely claim...).
