plugin doesn't appear in workbench [message #71184]

installation and restarted Eclipse, but I don't seem to have AJDT
functionality: no File > New >Other >AspectJ, no editor, no Convert to
AspectJ menu option, etc.

Manage Configuration says the plugin is installed and configured properly,
and Help>Plug-in Details shows it. The log doesn't mention any errors.
Anything I'm missing?

Thanks,
Greg

I have a similar problem here in that I cannot seem to figure out how to
install AspectJ on Eclipse running on a Windows Vista Laptop.

I am running Eclipse 3.3.2 and have downloaded the AspectJ installer and
run aspectj-1.5.4.jar, this seems to go through the installation steps ok.

It does ask me to add c:\aspectj1.5\lib\aspectjrt.jar to the Classpath and
I am not sure how I am supposed to do that; is this to be done on a per
project basis or is there some way of adding AspecJ to Eclipse itself so
that it appears under the New menu?

I am quite new to Eclipse and totally new to AspectJ so would appreciate
any help in getting this installed correctly.

Thanks

Brad

I suggest you add the path to the environment variable called classpath. In
WinXP it is accessed over System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment
Variables. I'm not sure where it is in Vista. Setting this environment
variable makes it convenient tu run the ajc compiler from command line
without specifying the classpath every time.

I also suggest you read more about Eclipse, AJDT, and ajc to get familliar.

I'm not an Eclipse or AJ pro myself, so please correct if I'm wrong.
