AspectJ and Eclipse plugin: Support of aspect libraries

[Stefan Hübner]

Hi,

I created a library (let's call it project-a) to provide aspects
(AspectJ is meant here) to other modules. To use that library as an
aspect library I would create a pom for some project-b as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";

                                <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                                <configuration>

                                                </aspectLibrary>
                                        </aspectLibraries>
                                        <complianceLevel>1.5</complianceLevel>
                                </configuration>
                                <executions>
                                        <execution>
                                                <goals>
                                                        <goal>compile</goal>
                                                        
<goal>test-compile</goal>
                                                </goals>
                                        </execution>
                                </executions>
                        </plugin>
                </plugins>
        </build>
</project>

Then I would like to use eclipse to work on project-b. so I set it up
using the eclipse plugin. That works fine except for configuring
"project-a" as an aspect library. This causes no aspects to be woven
into classes of project-b. Did I miss something in setting up my poms?

thanks in advance for any hints!
