Question

I am trying to add AspectJ in my Eclipse RCP/RAP application.

I did step by step as these guys say: link here (except creating a new platform, I added the libraries by my self in my platform).

But the problem is that it is still not working… I get this error:

I don’t know why I have this error… it’s really strange…

Answer 1

well… this error happened because I haven’t reexported the org.aspectj.runtime dependency…

but now I have another error:

I think this is because org.eclipse.equinox.weaving.hook is not found… but I added this -Dosgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.equinox.weaving.hook at run configurations.

EDITED with SOLUTION:

found it..

I had to add the aspectj libraries in the same folder where my osgi framework is (where platform is defined)
