aspectj-maven-plugin not weaving if sourceDirector

问题:

Question

I have trouble weaving some aspects during compile time since I added the sourceDirectory tag with "src/main/java" as path. Before "." was set. Now the aspects are not weaved into the classes.

                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            <configuration>
                    <source>1.6</source>
                    <target>1.6</target>
        <encoding>utf-8</encoding>
        <complianceLevel>1.6</complianceLevel>                    
        <verbose>true</verbose>
            </configuration>
            </plugin>
            ...
      </plugins>
  </build>

It seems that the weaving gets skipped. If I set "." for sourceDirectory it will work again and aspectj will produce some output.

Solution

Oh man, it's friday afternoon...

For all running in same issue:

• check that the directory of your aspects is "src/main/aspect" and not "src/main/aspects" or set the aspectDirectory parameter for plugin to know where your aspects are
• check that if you used extension ".aj" for your aspects tell the plugin that he has to include all "*.aj" files
• set the basedir where the plugin could find the java source

Sorry about that one here...
