Well, I'm trying. Thanks, ansa

Hey, I did it. Look at this:

http://includeblogh.blogspot.com/2011/04/install-aspectj-in-netbeans-691.html

Tried to load this into Netbeans 6.9 Beta 1 and it failed due to a version mismatch with the editor component. Is this being actively maintained? If not, can I volunteer to take a stab at it?

Hello, I have installed the plugin in Netbeans 6.5.1 and it works.
We are now using NetBeans 6.7.1. After installing the nbms and restarting the ide I got the error message:
"Warning - could not install some modules: Main Aspectj for NetBeans Module - The module named org.netbeans.modules.editor.deprecated.pre61completion/0 was needed and not found."
I had to disable the modules. Any ideas? Are there other NetBeans 6.7.1 AspectJ plugins available? Thanks.

Has anyone tried this on 6.5? Does it work? I will give it a try.

Thank you akahanek. David, I will take a look and try to enable support for your use case.

Hi Ramon,

Great job on this! I like it when ide integration actually makes using a library easier (its frequently the opposite...). I've got a question about your implementation :

I'm using AspectJ only in testing. I'd like to only link to it for testing purposes and I use the Netbeans jUnit integration for that. I have a regular java library project (not NB module... tho I don't think this matters) and I've hooked the AspectJ libs to the test build. This uses a different classpath env var than the run build (one is ${run.classpath} and the other is ${run.test.classpath}). I think other vars must be important to the configuration (for example, the src directory, which apparently turns on functions in the aspectj toolbar). Are these hardcoded or do they reference project properties somewhere (I dont see them...). I'd like to use the test classpath and test/src dir for the aspectj run (and other commands) since doing my tests in my build would require it also establishing dependencies on jUnit, jMock, etc that don't belong in the primary build or distribution configs. (Doing that also breaks NB testing integration.) Do you have any ideas for configuring this?

Thanks, and again, great job Tim and... err... I mean Ramon.

Hi Ramon,

First, thanks for your great work in this plugin, it really helps me a lot!

Now, to the problem: I have a project that was used in NB 5.5. This project was using the corresponding AspectJ plugin for 5.5 and it worked fine. But now, in 6.0 final, I can't make it compile the aspects. It keeps saying: "classpath error: unable to find org.aspectj.lang.JointPoint (check that aspectjrt.jar is in your classpath)". But it is... :) I'm using the library definition that the plugin inserts in the library manager. Also, a new project works just fine with the plugin.

The original project contained aspectjrt.jar and aspectjlib.jar in a subdirectory that was included manually in the classpath, but I removed them and, even though, the error remains. I've checked many times that the dist/lib directory is created correctly with the right aspectjrt.jar, so I don't know where to look to solve this. If you can shed some light on this, I will be very gratefull.

The plugin is build against NetBeans 6.0 Beta 2.
