Vincent, thanks for this. I saw maven.compile.aspects here:
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/java/properties.html . Like you I did not
find it in any b10 plugin. So I changed the java plugin to do this:
<goal name="java:compile">
<j:choose>
<j:when test="${maven.compile.aspects}">
<echo>Compiling with aspect support</echo>
<attainGoal name="aspectj"/>
</j:when>
<j:otherwise>
<echo>Compiling without aspect support</echo>
<attainGoal name="java:compile_actual"/>
</j:otherwise>
</j:choose>
</goal>
I think that is nicer, because then I can just do "maven war" and the decision about
whether to use ajc or javac is not something I have to worry about. I figured this is
what maven.compile.aspects was meant to do. What ya reckon?
Cheers,
Mike.
