I want to use compile-time AspectJ with Ant in NetBeans. I want to run it on Google App Engine, but it is not essential at the moment. AspectJ is annotation based.
I prefer compile-time weave (modification, instrumentation? of classes). I wouldn't like to use a custom classloader. How to achieve this?
I tried AspectJ Annotation Tutorial with NetBeans. I modified build.xml to process aspectj (using iajc Ant task) as described here. The problem is that it requires adding -javaagent:lib/aspectjweaver.jar
(it is not possible on GAE).
Running my build generates this output:
info compiling C:\NetBeansProjects\TryAspectJ\src\net\andrewewhite\examples\HelloWorld.java
weaveinfo Join point 'method-call(void java.io.PrintStream.println(java.lang.String))' in Type 'net.andrewewhite.examples.HelloWorld' (HelloWorld.java:9) advised by before advice from 'net.andrewewhite.aspects.BasicAspect' (BasicAspect.class:17(from BasicAspect.java))
weaveinfo Join point 'method-call(void java.io.PrintStream.println(java.lang.String))' in Type 'net.andrewewhite.examples.HelloWorld' (HelloWorld.java:9) advised by after advice from 'net.andrewewhite.aspects.BasicAspect' (BasicAspect.class:23(from BasicAspect.java))

When I run my project with -javaagent
parameter it works OK. (In NetBeans: Click on project>Properties>Run>VM Options: -javaagent:./dist/lib/aspectjweaver.jar). Otput for code from tutorial:
run:
About to make call to print Hello World
Hello World!
Just made call to print Hello World
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
Without agent (VM Options cleared) code runs as if it was without AspectJ:
run:
Hello World!
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

What do I have to add or change?
Found solution. This is the correct build.xml fragment:
<taskdef classpath="lib/aspectjtools.jar" resource="org/aspectj/tools/ant/taskdefs/aspectjTaskdefs.properties"/>
<target name="aspectj">
<echo level="info">--- aspectj (start) ---</echo>
<!-- begin fix classpath for this bug https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40291 -->
<condition property="targetos" value="windows" else="unix">
<os family="windows"/>
</condition>
<!-- converting classpath -->
<pathconvert targetos="${targetos}" property="javac.convertedClasspath" >
<path path="${javac.classpath}" />
</pathconvert>
<!-- end fix classpath -->
<iajc source="1.6" target="1.6" showweaveinfo="true" verbose="true" destdir="${build.classes.dir}" >
<inpath>
<pathelement location="${build.classes.dir}"/>
</inpath>
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${javac.convertedClasspath}" />
</classpath>
</iajc>
<echo level="info">--- aspectj (finished) ---</echo>
</target>
<target name="-post-compile" depends="aspectj"></target>
Calling java -classpath ./lib/aspectjrt.jar -jar TryAspectJ.jar
works OK. What is strange is that from NetBeans (Right clik on project->Run) results are as if they were without AspectJ. I think that NetBeans runs projects from build/classes
dir not as jar. But it's not a problem.
