[aspectj-users] Re: [aspectj-dev] Problem to compile in AspectJ 1.1b2

[Wes Isberg <wes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John -

This happens when your aspectjrt.jar file has no manifest
file, which might happen if you are using aspectjrt.jar
from a previous release.  (Generally, you have to use the
aspectjrt.jar from the same release.)  In the next release, 
we will detect this condition and issue a more sensible 
message.  (Also, the stack trace will have line numbers.)

Thanks for pointing this out.

Wes

P.S. - For future reference, here's a link which will 
display all compiler bugs:
