ASPECTJRT_LIB how? [message #64109]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could point me to the file that declares
ASPECTJRT_LIB library and adds it to the projects classpath when the
aspect nature is invoked, I'm having a difficult time finding it in the
source. I'm trying to do something similar for an XMLBeans plugin I
wrote...currently I have to add the library manually, it would be nice if
it added/removed it when the nature was added or removed (like AJDT does).

Can anyone offer any pointers here.

Cheers
Adam

Sure, the ASPECTJRT_LIB variable is defined in plugin.xml of
org.eclipse.ajdt.core:

<extension point="org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathVariableInitializer">
<classpathVariableInitializer variable="ASPECTJRT_LIB"
class="org.eclipse.ajdt.internal.core.AspectJRTInitializer"/ >
</extension>

The referenced class initialises it. Then the methods
AspectJUIPlugin.addAjrtToBuildPath() and removeAjrtFromBuildPath() in the
org.eclipse.ajdt.ui plugin add and remove the entry to a project's
classpath.

Regards,

Matt.
