Re: [aspectj-users] Problems with Building -- Exporting aspects across multiple projects in eclipse

So you can run the test in project C without the aspecpath being set
for the project, if it is just a logging aspect?  Does the test pickup
the string change in this case?

Does the timestamp on file X change on the disk when it is rebuilt?
Can you use javap -verbose on it to check it really has the new string
value in the class file?

You could try switching off around advice inlining in project C to see
if that makes any difference (in one of the AJDT preference menus) -
it shouldn't... but it is something to try.
