Re: [aspectj-users] type pattern not matching when annotation values are enum instances (or psf Strings)
|
Supporting all the possible annotation value types is a lot of work
(for each piece of syntax where they might appear). Typically the
most common are added first, and others later. So usually string
first, then others on request and I can imagine enum being down the
list. However, normally AspectJ throws an error if you use one that
isn't yet supported (and the exception tells you to go and ask for
it!), so maybe that isn't what is happening in this case.. (I haven't
investigated). Please open a bug, but it sounds like your inconsistent
class file thing is more pressing.
cheers,
Andy
