Vince-- I notice in the plugin.jelly notes of the CVS version of the aspectj plugin that what you've got really doesn't work for WAR files since the war process does not call jar:jar.
Alas, but pretty much all my work in Java ends up in a war file. You mention being able to weave into classes, which, as far as I know, won't work with the ajc compiler. One way we could do this would be to re-do the war goal (or war:webapp) to include all app code in a jar file in WEB-INF/lib rather than just the straight WEB-INF/classes directory. Another might be to jar the app classes (after war:webapp), weave aspects into a temp jar, then "unjar" the result back into the war:webapp target directories (overwriting as necessary), then call war:war to re-package it all up. What do you think? Seems to me that aspects are especially useful in a web context, where practically everything has crosscutting concerns, and its sad that maven and the aspect compiler hasn't gotten it figured out yet! Weaving from jars to jars (or classes to classes) seems the only sane way to deal with the fact that ajc requires recompilation of all the classes on each change. Ugh! ;) Keith On Mon, 2004-01-19 at 12:04, Keith F Irwin wrote: > On Mon, 2004-01-19 at 11:49, Vincent Massol wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Keith F Irwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Sent: 19 January 2004 19:40 > > > To: Maven Users List > > > Subject: AspectJ Plugin > > > > > > Folks-- > > > > > > How mature is the AspectJ plugin?
