Re: [aspectj-users] Problems with Building -- Exporting aspects across m

["Mike Schneider" <mikepschneider@xxxxxxxxx>]

My projects are set up as such (somewhat simplified, as I really have
8 eclipse projects, but I'll describe what I believe is relevant)

Projects Aspects is the base project (and contains only one aspect
file, and no java files)
Project A includes the binary output folder from Project Aspects on
its aspect path
Project B depends on project A, and includes the binary output folder
from Project Aspects on its aspect path
Project C depends on project B, and includes the binary output folder
from Project Aspects on its aspect path

All 4 projects have aspectj nature turned on.

I noticed the particular issue below in Project C, but my colleagues
have observed it in other projects (B for instance).

With all of the event tracing on, when I changed the file and save it,
I see that ACJ recompiles and reweaves that one file.  It does not
show any obvious errors or other problems.  But, when I run the unit
test in eclipse I don't see my change.  Only when I do a full rebuild
do I see the changes in the unit test.

My version info is as follows:
AJDT Version: 1.5.2.200804031719
AspectJ version: 1.6.0.20081300000000

Any ideas?
