I am facing the same issue described in Error when using AspectJ AOP with Java 7

But provided solutions are not helping out.

  1. I have upgraded spring-aspectjweaver & aspectjrt to 1.7.2
  2. Increases the version of org.springframework.aspects to 3.2.1
  3. Java 7
  4. Tomact 6

I am using build.gradle to load it.

Added Dependencies: 

compile(group: 'org.aspectj', name: 'aspectjrt', version: '1.7.2') 
compile(group: 'org.aspectj', name: 'aspectjweaver', version: '1.7.2')
compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-aspects', version: '3.2.1.RELEASE')
compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-aop', version: '3.2.1.RELEASE')
compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-context', version: '3.2.1.RELEASE')
compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-beans', version: '3.2.1.RELEASE')
compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-core', version: '3.2.1.RELEASE')
compile(group: 'org.springframework', name: 'spring-expression', version: '3.2.1.RELEASE')

  • You can throw whatever library add it however if you don't tell the compiler to be 1.5 compliant or up it will give you this warning. You are using ant which by default sets the source/target to 1.4 I believe for the compile task (but that is a while ago). Also you haven't upgraded AspectJ only libraries using AspectJ. – M.

  • @M. Deinum I have upgrade these three libraries : 1. spring-aspectjweaver 2. spring-aspectjrt 3. org.springframework.aspects Do you want me to upgrade any other library ?? – JTN Jul 16 '15 at 04:20
  • AspectJ you are nowhere mentioning the aspectj version. You are only upgrading related libraries not aspectj libraries. – M. Deinum Jul 16 '15 at 05:33

Problem is solved, actually the project I am running consists of 3 modules. In two modules I was upgrading the jar version to 1.7.2, as only these two modules were using it.

But the third module also had the dependency, which was downloading the older version of spring-aspectweaver 1.5.3 and even after making changes in other two modules they were picking the old jar from module 1's dependency.

Removing the jar old dependency from the module and hard deleting the old jar helped.

I had the similar issue. the below link helped:

https://coderwall.com/p/8tbjdg/aspectj-complaining-about-java-5-compliance-level

I had to update the aspectj version and it worked.

I used to have similar problem, I got this message when deploying to glassfish server:

error the @within pointcut expression is only supported at Java 5 compliance level or above.

It turn out due to one of my dependency was outdated. check your suspected dependency version. It is easier to spot if You have earlier working version and check only the additional dependency.

If it is Eclipse, open the project properties>Java Compiler. Set the Compiler Compliance Level to 1.7. For other IDE's, just google how to change the compiler compliance level.
