Question

I have a project which currently works with java 6 and compile time weaving.
We use the following pom to enable spring aspects and our own ones:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.4</version>
      <configuration>
        <showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>
        <source>1.6</source>
        <target>1.6</target>
        <Xlint>ignore</Xlint>
        <complianceLevel>1.6</complianceLevel>
        <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
        <verbose>false</verbose>
        <aspectLibraries>
          <aspectLibrary>
             <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
             <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
          </aspectLibrary>
        </aspectLibraries>
      </configuration>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <goals>
            <goal>compile</goal>
            <goal>test-compile</goal>
          </goals>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>

I’ve tried various configuration but can’t make it work with java 7.
If someone could share a working pom or leads it would be great.

Answer 1

After moving to version 1.7.0 of the aspectjtools it works fine. In addition you need to pass the compiler the version parameter as -1.7 (using the target parameter caused problems). If someone needs more details leave a comment and I’ll add more configuration specific information.
You can take a working example from here: Spring, AspectJ and Maven example
Here is the working plugin definition from the pom (compiler-version=”1.7″, aspectj.version=”1.7.0″)

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
    <configuration>
        <showWeaveInfo>true</showWeaveInfo>
        <source>${compiler.version}</source>
        <target>${compiler.version}</target>
        <Xlint>ignore</Xlint>
        <complianceLevel>${compiler.version}</complianceLevel>
        <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
        <verbose>false</verbose>
        <aspectLibraries>
            <aspectLibrary>
