Re: [ajdt-dev] Installing latest AJDT/AspectJ build

[Andrew Clement <CLEMAS@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex's original question was slightly
different to Nicks question.  Alex
asked about integrating the most recent
AspectJ dev build into AJDT.  Nick
asked about using the AspectJ embedded
in the latest AJDT outside of Eclipse.

99.9% of the time, the DEV jar from
the aspectj download page is 
always up to date - more frequently
up to date than AJDT since the 
AspectJ build is released automatically
post build (if it passes the tests) 
whereas we do some basic testing of
each AJDT dev build before releasing
it to the masses.

Inside org.aspectj.ajde is ajde.jar
- this is a repackaged version of the
aspectjtools.jar that comes with an
AspectJ standalone download.

Nick, 
If you find you like an AJDT build
and want to use it in the surrounding
environment you should just be able
to put ajde.jar from the org.aspectj.ajde
plugin ahead of your aspectjtools.jar
*from a recent AspectJ download*.
I'm not sure you'll see such great
build time improvements outside of the
IDE as you have seen inside the IDE
as the enhancements you saw yesterday
were kind of on the interface between
the two.

Alex,
The bit of ANT to construct a new ajde.jar
from an aspectjtools.jar is
simply:

 <unzip dest="${ajde.build.dir}"
src="" />
 <delete includeemptydirs="true">
         <fileset
dir="${ajde.build.dir}">
         
       <exclude name="org/aspectj/**/*.*"
/>
         </fileset>
 </delete>
 <zip destfile="ajde.jar">
         <fileset
dir="${ajde.build.dir}" />
 </zip>

However ... be very careful when reporting
bugs if you have modified your
setups ... we need to know what you
have been doing.

I do plan to add dates to the dev builds
of AspectJ that we create for
download - just haven't done it yet.

Andy.

Hi Nick!

Not so far ago I have asked the same question (integrating last AspectJ
development thread). It
seems that with the help of the ant build scripts it would be possible.
Unfortunately I didn't have
the time to try to do this. Now, being 2 of us I will increase the priority
;-).
