Sometimes annotation processing not working in Eclipse #507
Description
@DayS and I just ran into a problem in our project on annotation processing. We are using AA and aspectj in the same project. The annotation processing was not started after saving, so Eclipse could not find any generated AA classes. It caused a lot of errors in the project. My eclipse .project (Builder) was as follow:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<buildSpec>
[...]
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.ajdt.core.ajbuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
[...]
</buildSpec>
<natures>
<nature>org.eclipse.ajdt.ui.ajnature</nature>
<nature>com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.AndroidNature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.m2e.core.maven2Nature</nature>
</natures>
</projectDescription>After, doing some search, we found out that this builder should be replaced by (+ remove nature) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
<buildSpec>
[...]
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
[...]
</buildSpec>
<natures>
<nature>com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.AndroidNature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
<nature>org.eclipse.m2e.core.maven2Nature</nature>
</natures>
</projectDescription>It probably comes from the fact we installed the AspectJ plugin. This is not really a bug but it could save some time for people in the same case. Maybe something to add to the documentation?

Yes, this should go in the FAQ. Please ask @slandelle to give you the admin rights, and then feel free to update it and less us know here.

Just to be more accurate, sometimes that's also possible that you have both javabuilder and ajbuilder in your .project. In that case, just delete the stuff related to aspect (ajbuilder and ajnature).
