Re: [aspectj-users] problems with generated code

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

AJDT does not fully support Java 5 annotation processors, and does not
support Java 6 style processors at all.

What is supported is the following:

1. generating new files
2. adding compile errors or warnings to existing files

However, we do not run the AspectJ compiler in a loop to handle new
files generated from APT.  This is required for your situation.  I
believe that running the aspectj compiler in batch mode (ie- from the
command line) will properly handle this situation.

The reason why this has not been implemented is that we have not had
this requirement in the past.  Could you raise a bug for this inside
of bugzilla?

The problem appears to be that the AJDT builder is ignoring the generated files and they and they don't get compiled. I get Java compilation errors when I try to use the generated types anywhere in the
> project. If I disable AspectJ (AspectJ tools > Remove AspectJ Capability), the code compiles fine. At this point if I convert the project back to AspectJ and do a clean, the errors come back. Is this a supported  scenario? If so, is there something additional I need to do in my annotation processor to make the builder aware of the generated files?
