[ajdt-dev] type name patterns in AspectJ 1.1rc2

[Jesús Bisbal <bisbal@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,
   I hope this is a the right mailing list to submit this
question.
   I am trying to compile the following code, which is part of
an aspect definition in AspectJ:

private
String edu..*coder.currAction =
null;
private
String edu..Conf*er.currAction =
null;
private
boolean
edu..Conf*er.reset =
false

;

  The compiler returns the following error at the first line (and any one of the other lines):
Syntax error on token ".", "around", "aspect", "privileged", "pointcut", "before", "after", "declare", "Identifier" expected

  I've tried to compile this code from both Eclipse as well as the command line.
  The problem is that type name patterns don't seem to be allowed anymore. With AspectJ 1.0 this same code compiles without any kind of problems. Will type patterns in Introductions no longer be allowed in this (AspectJ 1.1rc2) and following versions of AspectJ?. I find it a bit difficult to believe.
 
   In order to get around this problem, I've tried to use Eclipse changing the aspectjrt.jar library in my projects properties, so that it compiles with version 1.0 of AspectJ. But then I get the error:
"AspectJ Runtime error: bad version number found in c:\aspectj1.0\lib\aspectjrt.jar expected 1.1rc2 found null please place a valid aspectjrt.jar on the classpath"

   So it seems that the current version of AJDT will work only with version 1.1rc2 of AspectJ.
   Therefore, I find myself having to develop using the command line.
   Is there currently any way around this problem.
   Thank you very much in advance for your help.
   Best regards,

Jesus Bisbal
