Vaadin and AspectJ - main() or init() - compilers integration [message #1797843]

I've started a Vaadin project to try AspectJ with Vaadin and I realized that AspectJ compiler needs or search after the main() structure in the main class, where Vaadin uses an init() structure instead. Therefore AspectJ compiler reports an error which says "Lunch Error - Selection does not contain a main type".

I added an empty main() structure to the main class to avoid this error, which also worked but just to avoid the error, there happens nothing more. The code in the init() structure won't be executed.

I searched on the Internet for anything and tried to figure it out how I can connect both compilers with a bridge together, no result!

I will be thankful for any help!

I've tried combining AspectJ and Vaadin a few times, a few years ago however.

I think all that was needed was to insert the aspectJ dependency to the pom.xml file. For example like this:

<dependency>
                <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
                <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
                <version>1.8.0</version>
</dependency>

You won't have to insert additional main() function, because it breaks the execution of the actual vaadin program like you said.
