[aspectj-users] Eclipse 3.7 SR2 + AJDT

["Kevin Shale" <shale@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I'm configuring a new notebook running Windows 7 professional 64-bit and have already installed jdk-7u3-windows-x64 (64-Bit JDK 7).

After unpacking eclipse-java-indigo-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip (Eclipse Indigo 3.7 SR2 64-Bit for Java Developers) I installed m2eclipse.

 

Now I am struggling with the latest AJDT plugin targeting Eclipse 3.7.

The installation from http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/37/update completed successfully but when I restarted Eclipse I had no AspectJ views or perspectives available.

Subsequently I removed this AJDT plugin and tried again with the dev update url at http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/37/dev/update.

Same thing happened. Eclipse shows that the AJDT plugin has been installed but I have no recognition that AspectJ has been plugged in (no views, no perspectives, no "new aspect", etc).

Then I started googling and found evidence that perhaps things have changed since Eclipse 3.5 .... for example here:

If the link above is not pertinent, could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
