AspectJ and Netbeans

[David Holliday]

I have installed AspectJ 1.1 as per instructions from John Zoetebier which match the installation instructions. All goes well until I try to compile the first example in AspectJ In Action.
I get the error:
E:\AspectJ\HelloWorld\MannersAspect.java:1-1:0: This compilation unit indirectly references the missing type java.lang.Object (typically some required class file is referencing a type outside the classpath)
I am running NB 3.5 JDK 1.4.2. Regular, non AOP compiles work fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
David

In case anyone else has this problem, this is what I have found.
I tried the set up on another machine with Netbeans 3.4 and AspectJ 1.1.b4.
All worked fine.
Also, AspectJ 1.1.1 for Netbeans won't unzip with WinZip. Had to use jar xf filename.
So 1.1.1 did not unzip or work on three different Netbeans3.5 machines, but 1.1.b4 does unzip and work on Netbeans3.4
Thanks,
David

I had the same problem with NetBeans 3.5.1 with AspectJ 1.1.1
I solved it with the following configuration option in netbeans, in the AspectJ options.
goto Tools->AspectJ->ADJE Options
on the 'AspectJ Build Options' tab add the following to 'other compiler options':
-classpath F:\Progra~1\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\jsse.jar
It seem as if the AspectJ compiler can not find the JRE, and this fixes that problem.

Thanks Seth, I did what you said. Now aspectj works seamlessly...
