RE: [aspectj-users] coverage, decompile, recompile 
Jules,

This is a known problem with AspectJ.  The following link should get you to
the bug report:

	https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=46298

One alternative approach you could take is to re-name your .aj files to
.java and the aspectj compiler will work fine.

Subject: [aspectj-users] coverage, decompile, recompile



Because AspectJ compiles directly from .aj to .class with no 
intermediate .java stage, I am currently thwarted in my efforts to run 
e.g. Clover over my codebase to do coverage testing.

Clover only understands Java (AFAIK).

I guess this must be the situation for a number of useful tools.

I recently had the idea of compiling .aj to .class, decompiling .class 
to .java and then recompiling .java back to .class with clover...

Needless to say this was wishful thinking (I used the latest JAD, which 
wasn't happy with the version of my class files). The first 
recompilation error, of many, turned out to be an inner class that had 
got lost - further investiation revealed that jad had failed to 
decompile it :
 
WEB-INF/classes/org/codehaus/wadi/jetty/Manager$HouseKeeper.class...The 
class file version is 48.0 (only 45.3, 46.0 and 47.0 are supported)
  Generating jad/org/codehaus/wadi/jetty/Manager$HouseKeeper.java
Couldn't resolve all access$ methods in method run

Has anyone else tried anything like this ?

Is it possible to decompile Aspectj programs back into Java, or do they 
contain untranslatable bytecode ?

Is there a better decompiler around ?

Cheers,


Jules
