Re: [ajdt-dev] StreamCorruptedException - Conclusion

["James CE Johnson" <jcej@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I wanted to post a final followup in case anybody else runs across
something like this.

The Problem:
  Eclipse was giving me a StreamCorruptedException or BCException when
  trying to compile my project.

The Situation:
- I create a utility jar (which contains a binary aspect) with Maven
  using AspectJ 1.2.0
- I am using Eclipse SDK-3.1M4-linux-gtk
- On 01/11 I installed the AJDT plugin at
  http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/31/dev/update
- The AJDT plugin seems to use AspectJ 1.5.0.20041221105744

Apparently the binary aspect created by 1.2.0 is not compatible with
1.5.0.20041221105744. I tried upgrading maven's plugin to AspectJ
versions 1.2.1 and 1.5.0M1 but Eclipse throws BCException in either
case.

The solution:
- Copy the 1.5.0.20041221105744 aspectjrt to my local maven repository
- Extract the 1.5.0M1 aspectjtools
- Extract 1.5.0.20041221105744 ajde on top of that
- Create aspectjtools 1.5.0.20041221105744 in my local maven repository
  from the combined extraction
- Alter the maven aspectj plugin to use my modified jars instead of
  the standard 1.2 or 1.2.1 versions.

Now I can rebuild and publish my utility jar with maven and Eclipse will
happily build my application against it.

Thanks to all who patiently helped me work through this. Sorry for the
delay in wrapping it up and sending this out, I got distracted by some
other issues for a couple of days.
