Rebuild AspectJ project after eclipse restart [message #630810]

Hey,
After building my AspectJ project and restarting the IDE, any change in the code will cause a full build which takes a lot of time so it's really annoying.
In the docs of AspectJ 1.6.4 version It's written that:
"Between restarts of Eclipse the state of each project is not recorded - hence full builds are required upon restart. The state (and associated relationship model) should be persisted between restarts, but both of these need a review first to ensure they are not larger than they need to be."

Is this something that is planned to be fixed in the next versions?

Thanks a lot,
Gil

This is a piece of work that we always consider working on, but we prefer to spend our time reducing the memory footprint and making incremental builds as fast as possible (since that is a more common use case).

Nevertheless, here is the bugzilla bug for this:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=268822

Please comment/vote on it. The more feedback that we have, the more likely that we will be to work on it.

Hey Andrew,
We consider moving to Eclipse from Intellij IDE and this is happen to be a very big problematic issue (together with the huge memory footprint) in our project.
We have ~12000 classes in our project and about 15 aspect. The weaving process takes about 8 minutes and the heap is getting up to 1400MB so restart the Eclipse from time to time is a common use case.
I saw it should be fixed in 1.6.10 release by the end of October. Is this still valid?

Thanks a lot,
Gil

Unfortunately, this bug fix did not make it into 1.6.10.

I'd recommend that you send a message to aspectj-users and speak to the aspectj team about this, since most of the work on this issue is on the compiler side:

http://eclipse.org/aspectj/userlists.php

This will not be a small fix since the crosscutting model is not currently persisted and we will need to make changes to it.
