RE: [aspectj-users] Custom MessageHandler for static pointcuts

["Charles Daniels" <cjd4@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wes,

Thanks for your quick reply.  Unfortunately, I'm not forking, and I still
can't see what is happening.  Using Maven, I added the -X option to show
debugging output and saw that it was loading my IMessageHolder
implementation.  However, I still see no difference in behavior and I see no
exception.

Anyway, I did some digging through the source, as you suggested.  What I
found is that perhaps IMessageHolder is not used as I suspected.  I looked
at MessageHandler (the default IMessageHolder implementation), and it only
accumulates messages.  I don't know where the messages actually get sent to
output (or wherever they actually get sent -- logger/listener?).  I just
want to be able to capture error messages from 'declare warning'
declarations and write them to a file that I can transform into a report.

Cheers,
Chuck
