Re: [aspectj-users] Can't compile in IntelliJ with OpenJDK 9

[Adam Retter <adam.retter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay Andy thanks,

As suggested, I have now also posted the question to StackOverflow -
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51961559/cant-compile-aspectj-with-intellij-and-openjdk-9

I don't think the problem is directly with IntelliJ as it compiles our
Aspects just fine on OpenJDK 8. Could it be the case, that IntelliJ
needs to pass different arguments to ajc when using OpenJDK 9? I don't
know what arguments it passes currently as this is not shown.

It is located a little differently on Java9 but given that your Ant builds works fine with OpenJDK9 (I presume the same 9.0.7.1), hmm. I might be able to add some diagnostics to a AJ9 build that would tell us where it is having trouble locating the jar containing Object, if no-one can help you with the intellij setup (I'm not an active intellij user) - did you try stack overflow with that question?
