Re: [aspectj-dev] exception during compilation

Anyone have any thoughts about this?

I'm trying to build two aspects such that one or the other will be woven depending on a boolean value in an attribute.  So if logArgs is true then it will weave TraceAspect and if logArgs is false it will weave TraceWithoutArgsAspect.

@Trace(logArgs=true)
public void someMethod(String someArg) {
   ...
}

And I have the aspects setup like so:

public abstract aspect AbstractTraceAspect {

    abstract pointcut MethodsToLog();
   
    pointcut MethodsMarkedTraceAndLevel(TraceLevel level) :
        MethodsToLog() && @annotation(Trace(level));

}

public aspect TraceWithoutArgsAspect extends AbstractTraceAspect {

    pointcut MethodsToLog() : execution(@Trace(logArgs=false) * *.*(..));

    before(TraceLevel level) : MethodsMarkedTraceAndLevel(level) {
       ...
    }
    ...
}

Note that my annotation definition is like:

public @interface Trace {
    TraceLevel value() default TraceLevel.INFO;
    boolean logArgs() default true;
}
   
Everything works wonderfully with AJDT -- everything compiles all of my unit tests work perfectly.  The correct aspect is woven and the behaviors work as expected.

When I try to do a maven build, it blows up in the compiler producing the dump which I have attached.

Here is the beginning of the stack trace from the compiler (for future googlers):

I have tried this with the 1.6.11 release, the 1.6.12 release, and the 1.7.0 snapshot build from the spring repo and all fail with this. 

Here are my AJDT version numbers:

   AJDT version: 2.2.0.e37x-20120302-1100
   AspectJ Compiler version: DEVELOPMENT


Any clues as to what going wrong here?

Thanks,
