AspectJ Bug in STS 2.8.1

[bytor99999]

I created a Roo application and using the Spring Data Neo4j Roo plugin. When trying to run the app in tc server inside STS, I get the following error. I did a Google search and back in 2008 it was a bug that was fixed. Has it now reappeared.

I am able to deploy and run this from a terminal window using roo's perform command --mavenCommand jetty:run-war

Hi Mark,

Do I see you have insight turned on during your deployment? Does it behave if insight is turned off? It is, however, a bug - can you raise it here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_...roduct=AspectJ - if you can attach a failing project that would be really great, but I understand if you can't.

cheers,
Andy

How do you turn insight off. I thought I would just have to remove the war file and the insight directory, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I now get an error trying to read an insight.properties file that no longer exists since I deleted it.

I can try with just using Tomcat instead of tc server and see what happens.

Since I couldn't figure out how to correctly remove insight I tried on another server through STS. I won't say the name of that server, it was just the only one I happened to quickly have lying around, not because I use that server anymore. But I did not get that error on that server, which of course, did not have insight.

Also for creating a Jira, I wasn't able to log in to the link you posted. I don't have an account there, and well, I actually don't want to create an account there. I will just make sure I don't use that tc server instance with insight.

Thanks

Mark
