Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ versioning question
|
Hi Alan.
Thanks for your inquiry.
AspectJ generally does not release updates for older versions. Usually,
more recent versions are backward compatible. E.g., you can use the
current 1.9.22 to compile with 1.8 source/target or use LTW on Java 8.
Only in your build environment when using AJC directly or
aspectjtools.jar via Maven oder Gradle plugin, you would need Java 17,
because the upstream Eclipse compiler requires it.
Regards
