Re: [aspectj-users] Syntax error on tokens, delete these tokens

[Nicholas Lesiecki <ndlesiecki@xxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

You may be referring to an Eclipse eager parser issue. The Eclipse java parser attempts to make sure that all of your .java files are theoretically compilable. It often trips over AspectJ contstructs (for instance ITD methods). However when the aspectj builder runs, it understands the aspectj syntax and no actual error is produced. In my experience, you have to live with some of these "false errors" if you wish the eager parser to check your vanilla java code for your. In practice it's not much of a pain.

However, I may be misdiagnosing your problem.

Also Ron's advice stands. The 1.2 compiler is faster and more correct than anything in the 1.1 stream (IMO). The new AJDT plugins are similarly better behaved. There's no reason not to switch. 

Cheers,
Nick
