Petclinic spring-mvc example not building

Question

I just co https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples/ and tried to build petclinic. I did:

• mvn clean install
• mvn eclipse:eclipse

I imported to eclipse but:

The import org.aspectj cannot be resolved

What are the odds that the pom.xml is wrong and I have to add the dependency myself?

Answer 1

This is a known bug in the maven eclipse plugin.

A simple workaround is to specify the adjtVersion in your POM's maven-eclipse-plugin configuration section (or just update your version :D):

<ajdtVersion>none</ajdtVersion>

The EclipseClassPathWriter contains the following code:

    // Skip aspectj libraries since they are in the container.
            if ( ( config.getAjdtVersion() != 0 ) &&
               dep.getArtifactId().toLowerCase().indexOf( "aspectj" ) >= 0 )
            {
                return;
            }
