[aspectj-users] Problem with Load-Time Weaving ?

[David Pearce <david.pearce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've been trying to use load-time weaving via the javaagent.  The docs say:

" When using JDK 1.5 the JVMTI agent can be used by starting the JVM 
with the following option:

			-javaagent=aspectjweaver.jar"

Firstly, this is wrong as it should be "-javaagent:aspectjweaver.jar". 
More importantly, however, is that it doesn't seem to work.  The error 
message I get is:

> Failed to load Premain-Class manifest attribute from c:/Documents and 
> Settings/djp/My Documents/src/aspectj1.5/lib/aspectjweaver.jar
> Error occurred during initialization of VM
> agent library failed to init: instrument

With my limited knowledge of how this is supposed to work, I'm guessing 
this means there isn't a premain method anywhere in the jar file.  Which 
suggests that this feature is yet to be implemented.  Is this right or 
have I missed something?

Cheers,
