How to build

Use Gradle 4.0 to build this project. The gradle-aspectj is compatible only with this version of Gradle and an alternative plugin to support compiling of of AspectJ files (with "aj" extension is not available at the moment).

Since AspectJ files support with Spring will not be in future versions of this book, this module will be removed altogether.

• build the project with gradle clean build -x test --refresh-dependencies

• go to chapter05-aspectj-aspects/

• execute gradle copyDependencies

• go to: aspectj-aspects/build/libs

• execute java -jar aspectj-aspects-5.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and you should see the following: The Prefix foobar! The Suffix foo
