| RE: [aspectj-users] Eclipse AJDT - stepping into advice code |
Success! I finally found out how to step into advice code using the Eclipse debugger! Here are the steps that worked for me.
---
- To avoid stepping through code that is part of the AspectJ framework
- Select Window...Preferences...Java...Debug...Step Filtering.
- Click the "Add Packages..." button.
- Enter"org.aspectj" and click the "OK" button.
- Click another "OK" button.
- To prevent the compiler from inlining some methods,
which can make debugging aspect code difficult
- Select Project...Properties...AspectJ Compiler.
- Enter "-XnoInline" for "Non standard compiler options".
- Click the "OK" button.
- To allow Eclipse to find the source for aspects,
rename all .aj files to .java.
- From the "Run" menu, select "Debug...".
- In the Debug dialog, select the "Stop in main" checkbox and
click the "Debug" button.
- Use the "Step Into" and "Step Over" buttons to step to advised method calls.
These are indicated by a special icon in the left-hand margin.
- Use the "Step with Filters" button to step into an advised method.

It sure would be nice if I didn't have to rename my aspect source files from .aj to .java. Is there a way to tell Eclipse that .aj files are Java source files?
