| Build Automation for AspectJ-enabled plug-ins |
| ============================================= |
| |
| For information about the PDE Build mechanism for building plug-ins, |
| see the Eclipse Corner article here: |
| |
| http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/automation.html |
| |
| By default this process generates build.xml files which use the "javac" |
| Ant task. But this doesn't understand aspects, so any AspectJ-enabled |
| plug-ins containing aspects will not build properly. |
| |
| A bug has been raised to consider this issue: |
| https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=147432 |
| |
| In the meantime, a workaround is possible using the jar file in this |
| project. Export this project as a plugin and install it into your |
| eclipse/plugins directory. Then, when doing a headless build, |
| point to the scripts/build.xml ant file in this project. Pass |
| it the same arguments as you would a non-AspectJ headless build. |
| |
| Additionally, you must set the ajdt.pdebuild.home environment variable. |
| Set it to the root directory of this plugin. Eg- |
| |
| ajdt.pdebuild.home=${eclipse_home}/plugins/org.eclipse.ajdt.pde.build |
