Re: [aspectj-dev] Packaging AspectJ 1.5.3 for Gentoo Linux 
Bcel development stopped for a period of time, AspectJ was using it
and we decided to: (a) fix bugs in it, (b) optimize it for our pattern
of usage, and (c) upgrade it to support Java5.  To prevent it clashing
with existing users of normal bcel we swizzled the package name - you
need to include our version of Bcel if you are going to build and run
aspectj.

Dunno what build.jar is...

Hello,

I am trying to build AspectJ from source as I want to package it for Gentoo.
The Gentoo packaging philosophy is that everyhting must be built from
source, and dependencies should be taken from the system.

I checked out AspectJ 1.5.3 source from the Eclipse.org CVS server. So far
so good. But my first problem is that I noticed that the AspectJ
distribution ships a .jar of Apache BCEL, required for building. This JAR
file differs from the vanilla JAR file that we produce under Gentoo, because
the hierarchy in the bundled jar is org.aspectj.apache.* whereas in the
vanilla distribution it's apache.org.*

So the compilation fails. Did you actually modified the BCEL jar? And why??

I would appreciate help for this packaging. Also I notified that build.jar
is required. Is it absolutely required for bootstrapping or is there a way
to build it from source, then use it to build the remainder of AspectJ?

Cheers

Jean-Noël
