If more than just the file you are changing gets compiled after making a whitespace change that usually indicates a bug. We have fixed many of these over the years but there are still some lurking and some characteristic of your project/source is triggering the problem. Please raise a bugzilla for it: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=AspectJ Ideally sharing the source with me will be the fastest way to get it resolved, but if that isn't possible perhaps we can narrow down the problem: - if you comment out the aspects (or pieces of them) does it still happen? - anything unique about the file you are changing compared to others? Is it affected by aspects, if so, what kind of advice/itds/declares. Do you have inner classes? are they anonymous? cheers Andy On 28 April 2011 12:28, Jonathan Su <jonat...@cloudwords.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm currently using Eclipse 3.6.2 with AJDT 2.1.2 (which comes with > AspectJ 1.6.11), with incremental compilation turned on.
