Howto actually use the plugin? [message #24434] Wed, 06 August 2003 12:07 Go to next message

Hi!

I created a new AspectJ project and imported the telecom sample from the
distribution.

The editor complains about the keyword "aspect".

I switch to the AspectJ perspective but the Visualizer as well as the
Visualizer Menu views are plain empty.

So, well, how do I actually use the plugin at all? :-)

Hi Timo,

First of all, to get rid of the red underlining of "aspect" and other
AspectJ keywords, you need to follow the post-installation configuration
instructions. These can be found by following the first link on the AJDT
Welcome page, or under Help->AJDT Plugin Help->AJDT->Readme (scroll down
past the release changes). In the next release, you will be automatically
prompted to perform these steps, but for now, they are manual.

Secondly, you do not need to be in the "Aspect Visualization" perspective
to work with the AJDT plugin. You can program your aspects from the Java
perspective as you would any other code.

The "Aspect Visualization" perspective is a tool that allows you to see
the places in your Java code that are affected by your pointcuts. In
order for this to work, you need to build the project first. After a
build, you should be able to see some vertical bars (representing your
classes) in the Aspect Visualizer window. Note that the Visualizer
represents the currently selected project, so you must also select the
telecom project before anything will appear. There is more help on the
visualizer (and other parts of AJDT) in the FAQ: Help->AJDT Plugin
Help->AJDT->FAQ.

Hope this helps,

~Julie

Well, I'm not very happy with this. I don't want to disable and ignore
everything I want eclipse to know the aspect keyword (and the outline to be
updated while I type...) :-(

Not very spectacular :)

Thanks for helping (hmm, seems I'm about the only one on this newsgroup....)

That is a piece of work we are looking to start soon: i.e better
integrating the aspectj language with eclipse - its a *hard* thing to do
as eclipse doesn't have suitable extension points. After all, why would
it need to have extension points where you could add keywords to Java,
Java is Java...

We have trouble keeping track of the mailing list and the newsgroup. I
believe you are likely to get faster responses sending email to the ajdt
list - as then all the AJDT developers see it instantly, rather than when
we remember to check the group.

cheers,
Andy.

Well, "assert" also is a fairly new keyword. And 1.5's generics require a
new parser...

The newsgroup should be a mirror of the mailing lists et vice versa,
shouldn't it ;-)

And enum is a new 1.5 keyword ;-)
