Fighting AJDT [message #59795]

I am fighting the latest AJDT for a couple of hours now. So decided to
just make sure it is not me ... here is the aspect that just would not
let me live :-)

public abstract aspect AbstractPrettyPrintAspect {

protected abstract pointcut toStringMethod(java.lang.Object
targetObject)

;

around (Object targetObject) : toStringMethod(targetObject) {
String result = (String) proceed(targetObject);
if (shouldOverwrite(result,targetObject))
result = "overwrite";
return result;
}

....

}

is there anything wrong with it. I am getting an error form AJDT on the
line that declares the abstract pointcut. Eclipse complains "Syntax
error on token ";", Type expected after this token"

I can not see what is wrong here. The funny part is that I have an
aspect in different project that has a declaration of the pointcut that
matches one-to-one but names and it works just fine.

Any advice?

I am running:
Version: 1.3.0
Build id: 20051220093604
AspectJ version: 1.5.0

sorry for the noise, the around needs return type which I do not have on
the next line. I guess the line that AJDT was pointing to threw me off
the track.

I am good now. No need to call 911 :-)

Hi!

The problem comes from your around advice. It should have a return type
specified before the "around" keyword! (here String!)

So this makes:

public abstract aspect AbstractPrettyPrintAspect {

protected abstract pointcut toStringMethod(java.lang.Object
targetObject)

;

String around (Object targetObject) : toStringMethod(targetObject) {
String result = (String) proceed(targetObject);
if (shouldOverwrite(result,targetObject))
result = "overwrite";
return result;
}

....

}

Didier.
