Question

Primary Question

What I want to do is fairly easy. Or so you would think. However, nothing is working properly.

Requirement: Using maven

Answer 1

Version 1.3 of the AspectJ plugin deliberately changed the default phase of its compile goal from "process-sources" to "compile". To restore the previous behaviour of running ajc before javac, you just need to add a "phase" tag to the relevant "execution" tag, like this:

    process-sources 
    
        compile
        test-compile
