Title Body

Primary Question What I want to do is fairly easy. Or so you would think. However, nothing is working properly. Requirement: Using maven, compile Java 1.6 project using AspectJ compiler. Note: Our code cannot compile with javac. That is, it fails compilation if aspects are not woven in (because we have aspects that soften exceptions). Update 2/21/2011: There are two equally viable solutions to this (both cases use the aspectj-maven-plugin in conjuction with the maven-compiler-plugin ): Add <failOnError>false</failOnError> to the compiler plugin (thanks Pascal Thivent ) Add <phase>process-sources</phase> to the aspectj compiler plugin (thanks Andrew Swan ) More info on these solutions is in the answer section. I believe solution #2 is the better approach. Related Questions Questions (based on failed attempts below): How do you get maven to run the aspectj:compile goal directly, without ever running compile:compile? How do you ignore the failure of compile:compile? How do you specify a custom compilerId that points to your own ajc compiler (that is make compile:compile use an aspectj compiler other than the plexus one)?* Thanks for any and all suggestions. These are the things I've tried that have led to my problem/questions: Attempt 1 (fail): Specify aspectJ as the compiler for the maven-compiler-plugin: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId&
