Re: [aspectj-dev] Building AspectJ on a Mac
The instructions around this space are rather inadequate.... sorry about that.

I don't believe it will build clean on 1.7 because there are some javadoc errors that come out and I've not had cycles to fix them - I didn't think it manifested quite as you've shown though. So I still build with java6. I don't use the javaXX.home settings in that file. I just ensure the build.X properties are set correctly in there and run a simple 'ant'. The JVM selection is currently made by what compiler you use to launch 'ant' so I just ensure I am using 1.6 before I launch.

I'd gladly take pull requests to improve all this... (the documentation of how to do it if nothing else...)

cheers,
Andy

Hello all,

I am attempting to build AspectJ from scratch on a Mac.
So far, I'm getting some incorrect classpath exceptions, which means I have 2 questions:
  1. In decently recent Macs, only JDK 6 (Apple JDK) and JDK 7 (Oracle JDK) are available. In choosing from these options, I configured the local.properties to use JDK 7 (I think, could not find a description on the configuration options in local.properties). Did I choose correctly, as per the local.properties below?
  2. Trying to follow the described build steps in the build/readme-build-and-test-aspectj.html document, the build bombs with the exception below. This seems to indicate that the tools.jar is not part of the classpath. Though I have found the variable jdk.tools.jar in a build.xml file, it does not seem to be used properly. Could you help me out here, please?

local.properties:
# for non-release builds, versions should all be DEVELOPMENT
# except for build.version.base
build.version=DEVELOPMENT
build.version.base=1.7
build.version.long=DEVELOPMENT
build.version.short=DEVELOPMENT
# Repo version is for maven (as built with 'ant repo')
repo.version=1.6.4
# java11.home=c:/home/apps/jdk11
# java13.home=c:/home/apps/jdk13
# java14.home=c:/home/apps/jdk14
# java15.home=c:/home/apps/jdk15
# java16.home=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
java17.home=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
