[ajdt-dev] NullPointerException while using AJDT with EJB project

[Edwin_Park@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I am trying to add aspects to some EJB
code using AJDT 1.1.4 and WSAD 5.1.1. The building/weaving appears to work
fine, but when I try generating the deploy/RMIC code, I get an error window
titled "Cannot Generate Deployment Code" with the following content:

Deployment of MyEJB did not complete
successfully due to the following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException

The only way I can get the EJB code
generation to work again is to remove the AspejctJ nature.

I tried splitting my aspect code into
a separate project from my EJB code, but then the EJB code does not show
up in the Aspect Visualizer.

Is there a way to A) get the AspectJ
nature and EJB code generation to coexist peacefully, or B) have the Aspect
Visualizer display code that lives in a different project?

Thanks,
Edwin
