aspectj:test-compile

Full name:

org.codehaus.mojo:aspectj-maven-plugin:1.15.0:test-compile

Description:

Weaves all test classes. AspectJ Compiler Plugin.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: test-compile.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<additionalCompilerArgs> List<String> 1.13 Sets additional compiler arguments, e.g. 
<compilerArgs>
  <arg>-Xmaxerrs=1000</arg>
  <arg>-Xlint</arg>
  <arg>-J-Duser.language=en_us</arg> 
</compilerArgs>
This option can be used in case you want to use AJC options not (yet) supported by this plugin.

Caveat: Be careful when using this option and select the additional compiler arguments wisely, because behaviour is undefined if you add arguments which have already been added by the plugin using regular parameters or their default values. The resulting compiler command line will in that case contain duplicate arguments, which might be illegal depending on the specific argument. Do not expect to be able to manually override existing arguments using this option or to replace whole argument lists.
<ajdtBuildDefFile> String - Where to find the ajdt build definition file. If set this will override the use of project sourcedirs.
<argumentFileName> String - The filename holding AJC build arguments. The file will be placed in the project build output directory, and will contain all the arguments passed to the AJC compiler in the last run, and also all the files included in the AJC build.

Sample content shown below to illustrate typical content within the builddef.lst file:

Default value is: builddef.lst.
<aspectDirectory> String - The source directory for the aspects.
Default value is: src/main/aspect.
<aspectLibraries> Module[] - Weave binary aspects from the jars. The aspects should have been output by the same version of the compiler. The modules must also be dependencies of the project. Corresponds to ajc -aspectpath option
<bootclasspath> String - Override location of VM's bootclasspath for purposes of evaluating types when compiling. Path is a single argument containing a list of paths to zip files or directories, delimited by the platform-specific path delimiter.
<complianceLevel> String - Specify compiler compliance setting (same as setting 'source' and 'target' to the same level). Permitted values: 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 5, 5.0, 1.6, 6, 6.0, 1.7, 7, 7.0, 1.8, 8, 8.0, 1.9, 9, 9.0, 10, 10.0, 11, 11.0, 12, 12.0, 13, 13.0, 14, 14.0, 15, 15.0, 16, 16.0, 17, 17.0

<forceAjcCompile> boolean - Forces re-compilation, regardless of whether the compiler arguments or the sources have changed.
Default value is: false.
<generatedTestSourcesDirectory> File - The directory for sources generated by annotation processing.
Default value is: ${project.build.directory}/generated-test-sources/aspectj-maven-plugin.
<includes> String[] - List of ant-style patterns used to specify the aspects that should be included when compiling. When none specified all .java and .aj files in the project source directories, or directories specified by the ajdtDefFile property are included.

<outxml> boolean - Generate aop.xml file for load-time weaving with default name (/META-INF/aop.xml).
<outxmlfile> String - Generate aop.xml file for load-time weaving with custom name.
<parameters> boolean - Set the compiler "parameters" argument.
<preserveAllLocals> boolean - Preserve all local variables during code generation (to facilitate debugging).
<proc> String - Set the compiler "proc" argument. Aspectj supports Annotation processing since 1.8.2, it can been disabled by proc:none.

Default value is: src/test/aspect.
<testSources> Scanner[] 1.4

Set the java test source folders to use, specifying the includes and excludes.

If you don't specify this parameter, all java test sources of the current project fill be used. If you specify this parameter as an empty tag (i.e. <testSources/>), all test source folders will be ignored. Otherwise specify the test source folder(s) to use.

<weaveDirectories> String[] 1.4 List of of directories with .class files to weave (into target directory). Corresponds to ajc -inpath option.

Default value is: 1.5.
<XhasMember> boolean 1.3 Enables the compiler to support hasmethod(method_pattern) and hasfield(field_pattern) type patterns, but only within declare statements. It's experimental and undocumented because it may change, and because it doesn't yet take into account ITDs.

<Xlint> String - Set default level for messages about potential programming mistakes in crosscutting code. {level} may be ignore, warning, or error. This overrides entries in org/aspectj/weaver/XlintDefault.properties from aspectjtools.jar.

<XnotReweavable> boolean - (Experimental) Create class files that can't be subsequently rewoven by AspectJ.

<XserializableAspects> boolean - (Experimental) Normally it is an error to declare aspects java.io.Serializable. This option removes that restriction.
<Xset> Map<String,String> 1.5 Allows the caller to provide additional arguments in a Map format. For example: 
<configuration>
  <Xset>
    <overWeaving>true</overWeaving>
