Hello, I try to build an open source project (and while not important, the project is an SOS service from http://52north.org/), with the AspectJ maven plugin, in order to weave some aspects of mine. I am getting the "*Not executing aspectJ compiler as the project is not a Java classpath-capable package*" warning. My attempts to find adequate information around the web, resulted in solutions around the version number of source/target. While looking in mailing lists, every reference of this error, is accompanied also with the " *bad version number found in ...*" warning. Unfortunately I get only the "Not executing aspectJ compiler.." warning.
My case is to build a war for tomcat deployment while using aspects on certain operations. I have written an aspect, I placed it in a directory named aspects/ and I have included the following dependency. <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.4</version> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId> <version>1.7.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId> <artifactId>aspectjtools</artifactId> <version>1.7.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <configuration> <verbose>true</verbose> <showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo> <includes> <include>**/aspects/InterceptInsertCalls.aj</include> </includes> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <phase>process-sources</phase> <goals> <goal>test-compile</goal> <goal>compile</goal> </goals> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> The output is the following: [INFO] --- aspectj-maven-plugin:1.4:compile (default) @ 52n-sos --- [WARNING] Not executing aspectJ compiler as the project is not a Java classpath-capable package [INFO] [INFO] --- maven-install-plugin:2.3.1:install (default-install) @ 52n-sos --- [INFO] Installing C:\development\Workspace\52n-sos\pom.xml to C:\Users\biboudis\.m2\repository\org\n52\sensorweb\sos\52n-sos\3.5.0-M1\52n-sos-3.5.0-M1.pom How can my maven process be aware of the classpath environment, in order the aspectj compiler to be invokedn seamlessly? As far as I have seen in this<http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.codehaus.mojo/aspectj-maven-plugin/1.4/org/codehaus/mojo/aspectj/AbstractAjcCompiler.java?av=f#357> if-condition, from the plugin's internals, should I define a custom component like this? <component> <role>org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.ArtifactHandler</role> <role-hint>war</role-hint> <implementation>org.apache.maven.artifact.handler.DefaultArtifactHandler </implementation> <configuration> <type>war</type> <includesDependencies>true</includesDependencies> *<language>java</language>* <addedToClasspath>false</addedToClasspath> </configuration> </component> I am no expert of Maven (actually this is my first time ever through this building tool), so this is the deepest path I could dive to. I would be grateful, if someone could guide me through the correct direction. Thank you in advance, Aggelos Biboudis
