[aspectj-users] ServiceConfigurationError Error with AspectJ Load-Time W

[Andreas Joecker <sielesen@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have a Java Application in Eclipse which has a launchconfiguration, which works fine.

I have created an AspectJ project which adds some aspects to this application. If I create a "AspectJ Load-Time Weaving Application" and basically copy the existing launchconfiguration, the startup fails with

Exception in thread "Thread-4" sun.misc.ServiceConfigurationError: javax.imageio.spi.ImageOutputStreamSpi: Provider com.sun.media.imageioimpl.stream.ChannelImageOutputStreamSpi could not be instantiated: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: vendorName == null!

I have Eclipse 3.7.0 with AspectJ downloaded from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/37/update
As Java i tried jdk 1.5.0_22 and jdk1.6.0_26

Has anyone any idea what might cause the problem ? or any hint would could go wrong ?

Many many thanks for any hint
Andreas
