aspectj-maven-plugin not executed?

I am having problems building an AspectJ project using the aspectj-maven-plugin

the project has only one aspect:

src/main/java/org/lightforge/config/ConfigurationAspect.aj

ConfigurationAspect.aj does some members introduction according to Ch5 of AspectJ in Action 2nd Ed.

I am using Eclipse with AJDT and set pom.xml according to http://mojo.codehaus.org/aspectj-maven-plugin/

Although, when I run Maven install (Run As -> Maven Install), apparently aspectj-maven-plugin:compile is never executed.

Following is my pom.xml:

</project>

This is my build.ajproperties:

src.includes = src/main/java/,\
           src/main/resources/,\
           src/test/java/,\
           src/test/resources/
src.excludes = src/main/resources/**,\
           src/test/resources/**

Finally, this is the Build Log:

Does this work when you run on the command line, eg mvn install? - Andrew Eisenberg
Same result using the command line. - Jhon Camacho

Jon, Not sure if you got your answer and for reasons I cannot explain, removing the pluginManagement tag around the plugins seems to work.

You have to disable maven-compiler-plugin so that ajc compiler is used and not javac:

        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.5.1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>default-testCompile</id>
                    <phase>none</phase>
                </execution>
                <execution>
                    <id>default-compile</id>
                    <phase>none</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>compile</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

OK...two things first that are not related to your problem:

  1. There's no need to use a build.ajproperties file. This is calculated automatically.
  2. You'll probably want to add a testCompile goal to the executions, otherwise your test classes won't be woven.

The answer lies with the fact that you are using AspectJ with ITDs, but the maven compiler runs before the AspectJ compiler and fails (because ITDs have not been woven). It doesn't look like there is a clean answer, but have a look at this question:

How do I disable the maven-compiler-plugin?

I never followed up and tried all of the solutions suggested there, but I do know that the following would work in single-pom scenario:

  1. <aspectDirectory>src/main/java</aspectDirectory> to <aspectDirectory>src/main/aspect</aspectDirectory>
  2. move all source files from src/main/java to src/main/aspect (or at least move the files that rely on the ITDs being woven).
