Re: [ajdt-dev] AJDT support for Eclipse 4.4 or 4.5?

Yep, you should. For Eclipse 4.4:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/44/dev/update

For 4.5:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/45/dev/update

There is a bunch of overhead associated with doing an actual release so we haven't done that for a while (not had the time) but the AJDT dev builds are quite reliable. However, the 4.4 one is already falling behind becauseEclipse  4.5 is out. That means if you use 4.4 you will get Java 8 support but it won't include the latest fixes. If you want the latest fixes use Eclipse 4.5 with the 45 update site above.

For anyone on the bleeding edge there are known AspectJ issues with Java9 beta 74 that i'm currently fixing, that will be in the Eclipse 4.5 AJDT.

All that said, if you encounter an issue with Java 8 compilation in 4.4 I might be able to backport 4.5 changes to it if you simply cannot upgrade to Eclipse 4.5.

cheers,

Andy

Hi,

 

Thanks for creating and maintaining these great tools!

 

My team inherited a Java code base that uses AspectJ, and the Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler) IDE with AspectJ Development Tools version 2.2.3.e43x-RELEASE-20130627-0800.

 

I have been tasked with upgrading our development tools to Java 1.8. This requires either Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) or Eclipse 4.5 (Mars) and I'm having trouble installing AJDT on either. In Eclipse 4.4 when I try to install AJDT from this URL:

 

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/43/update

 

It fails with these details:

 

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

  Software being installed: AspectJ Development Tools 2.2.3.e43x-RELEASE-20130627-0800 (org.eclipse.ajdt.feature.group 2.2.3.e43x-RELEASE-20130627-0800)

  Missing requirement: AspectJ Development Tools Core 2.2.3.e43x-RELEASE-20130627-0800 (org.eclipse.ajdt.core 2.2.3.e43x-RELEASE-20130627-0800) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.jdt.core [3.9.0,3.9.9)' but it could not be found

  Cannot satisfy dependency:

    From: AspectJ Development Tools 2.2.3.e43x-RELEASE-20130627-0800 (org.eclipse.ajdt.feature.group 2.2.3.e43x-RELEASE-20130627-0800)

    To: org.eclipse.ajdt.core 0.0.0

 

In Eclipse 4.5 when I try to install AJDT from the same URL, it fails with the same details.

 

What is the current status of AJDT support for Eclipse 4.4 and 4.5? The above update URL is from this web site and it's listed as compatible with Eclipse 4.4:

 

http://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/downloads/index.php

 

Should I be using one of the development build update sites?

 

Thanks for any info!
