Not sure if this is a Spring (3.1.2) or Gradle (1.0) issue but I've posted to StackOverflow and so far noone has replied so hoping someone on this forum has come across this issue and knows what to do to get things working.

I'm trying to migrate my build from Maven to Gradle which has worked for everything except classes that rely on the @Configurable annotation to inject dependencies, e.g. @Entity instances that reference a UserDetailsManager to assign updateUserID in @PreUpdate.

I followed instructions to use the AsjectJ plugin for Gradle (http://github.com/breskeby/gradleplu...aspectJ.gradle), but that targets Gradle 0.9 and destDir has changed, so I modified it to destDir:sourceSets.main.output.classesDir.absolute Path. Everything seems fine but I'm guessing I'm missing a Spring-specific step that incorporates the spring-aspects jar to weave @Configurable annotations at ajc compile time.

In Maven its configured as an aspectLibrary:

Code:
<plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      ...
      <configuration>
          <aspectLibraries>
              <aspectLibrary>
                  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                  <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
              </aspectLibrary>
          </aspectLibraries>
      ...
      </configuration>
</plugin>
What do I need to do to configure weaving of @Configurable classes in Gradle?


build.gradle is:

Code:
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'jetty'

sourceCompatibility = 1.6
targetCompatibility = 1.6

version = 0.1

// apply url:'http://github.com/breskeby/gradleplugins/raw/0.9-upgrade/aspectjPlugin/aspectJ.gradle'

configurations {
    ajc
    aspects
    ajInpath
}



task compileJava(dependsOn: JavaPlugin.PROCESS_RESOURCES_TASK_NAME, overwrite: true)  {
    dependsOn configurations.ajc.getTaskDependencyFromProjectDependency(true, "compileJava")

    doLast{
        ant.taskdef( resource:"org/aspectj/tools/ant/taskdefs/aspectjTaskdefs.properties", classpath: configurations.ajc.asPath)
        ant.iajc(source:sourceCompatibility, target:targetCompatibility, destDir:sourceSets.main.output.classesDir.absolutePath, maxmem:"512m", fork:"true",
                aspectPath:configurations.aspects.asPath, inpath:configurations.ajInpath.asPath, sourceRootCopyFilter:"**/.svn/*,**/*.java",classpath:configurations.compile.asPath){
            sourceroots{
                sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs.each{
                    pathelement(location:it.absolutePath)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
