Re: [aspectj-dev] Building AspectJ on a Mac
Hello Andy,

Well ... the local.properties file is required in the current build, though. 
Is it correct to assume that it is not currently used within the build (other than that it has to exist, that is)? 
If one removes/does not create the local.properties file, the build breaks with an error message. 

I just wonder where you would recommend that the path to tools.jar should be added in the build.xml file.
The macrodefs seem not to accept additional classpath entries... but I may very well be wrong here.
Currently, the classpath is synthesized not to contain the tools.jar (or, classes.jar as it is called within the Mac JDK version 6.x).

I also wonder if you mind me trying to create a maven build for the AspectJ project (I'll give you the pull request when done).
However, in order for me to be able to do that I need to be able to build the project "as is" - and that implies I need to add 
the tools.jar to the classpath for the ajdoc build.

The instructions around this space are rather inadequate.... sorry about that.

I don't believe it will build clean on 1.7 because there are some javadoc errors that come out and I've not had cycles to fix them - I didn't think it manifested quite as you've shown though. So I still build with java6. I don't use the javaXX.home settings in that file. I just ensure the build.X properties are set correctly in there and run a simple 'ant'. The JVM selection is currently made by what compiler you use to launch 'ant' so I just ensure I am using 1.6 before I launch.

I'd gladly take pull requests to improve all this... (the documentation of how to do it if nothing else...)

cheers,
Andy

Hello all,

I am attempting to build AspectJ from scratch on a Mac.
So far, I'm getting some incorrect classpath exceptions, which means I have 2 questions:
  1. In decently recent Macs, only JDK 6 (Apple JDK) and JDK 7 (Oracle JDK) are available. In choosing from these options, I configured the local.properties to use JDK 7 (I think, could not find a description on the configuration options in local.properties). Did I choose correctly, as per the local.properties below?
  2. Trying to follow the described build steps in the build/readme-build-and-test-aspectj.html document, the build bombs with the exception below. This seems to indicate that the tools.jar is not part of the classpath. Though I have found the variable jdk.tools.jar in a build.xml file, it does not seem to be used properly. Could you help me out here, please?

local.properties:
# for non-release builds, versions should all be DEVELOPMENT
# except for build.version.base
build.version=DEVELOPMENT
build.version.base=1.7
build.version.long=DEVELOPMENT
build.version.short=DEVELOPMENT
# Repo version is for maven (as built with 'ant repo')
repo.version=1.6.4
# java11.home=c:/home/apps/jdk11
# java13.home=c:/home/apps/jdk13
# java14.home=c:/home/apps/jdk14
# java15.home=c:/home/apps/jdk15
# java16.home=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
