RE: [aspectj-dev] Re: [aspectj-users] iajc bootclasspath attribut e in a

[Jim.Hugunin@xxxxxxxx]

ajc accepts both -bootclasspath and -extdirs options and handles them correctly.  The command-line help message doesn't include these two options and should be fixed.  Having the ant task accept these seems completely right and compatible with the compiler.

There is an interesting dev question here that should probably be continued on the dev list.  Currently the code for bootclasspath and extdirs is in org.aspectj.ajdt.ajc.BuildArgParser.  Maybe that should be moved to AjBuildConfig so that it could be shared by the ant tasks and possibly by other clients.
