Maven + AspectJ weaving for Java8


I Cannot mvn package with the minimal sample below. Eclipse (Mars.2 Release 4.5.2) compiles and weaves without a problem.

What do I have to do to make it work?

The output:

[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) @ test ---
[INFO] Changes detected - recompiling the module!
[WARNING] File encoding has not been set, using platform encoding Cp1252, i.e. build is platform dependent!

[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : 
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] .../workspace/test/src/main/java/test/Foo.java:[6,21] cannot find symbol
  symbol: method doSomethingInjected()

A sample class:

package test;

public class Foo {
    public void bar() {
        this.doSomethingInjected();
    }
}

Sample interface:

package test;

public interface Injectable { }

aspect:

package test;

public aspect Injection {

    declare parents : test..* implements Injectable;

    public void Injectable.doSomethingInjected() {
        System.out.println("done");
    }
}

Solution

  • Try this, it makes your project compile and run cleanly (I tested it):
