Re: [aspectj-users] robocode and AspectJ

["Wes Isberg" <wes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi -

I looked at this briefly.  It looks like you have to put
all classes in the robot jar, including any library classes
like aspectjrt.jar.  (It doesn't have anything to do with
aspects per se, just external libraries.)

robocode.security.RobocodeClassLoader is responsible for
loading robots, and does not delegate upwards (in violation
of Java's classloader rules).  Further, it limits robot
classpaths to a single entry.  

As a result, one has to include all the classes required by
any robot in the robot jar.  It is not enough to refer to
them in the jar manifest or to include them on the robot
classpath or the system class path when loading
robocode.Robocode.

I didn't find this answer in the robocode faq or wiki or
api, but you can find RobocodeClassLoader.java in CVS if
you want.
