Errors running builder 'AspectJ Builder' on project


I am working on SpringSource Tool Suite with Spring Roo. Everything was working well up until few days ago after I installed GWT plugin (I think this might be a problem, I am not sure ).

Every time I code something and press Save (ctrl+s), it shows a dialog box showing

    Errors occurred during the build.

Can anyone please help me out in solving this?

Solution

  • The ClassFormatError occurs when a class file is malformed or corrupted. See here:

    It could very well be that your installation of AJDT was somehow corrupted. I would recommend trying one or all of the following:

    1. Uninstall the Google plugin. Does the problem go away?
    2. Upgrade to the latest dev snapshot of AJDT. Update site is here: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/36/dev/update After upgrading does your error go away?
    3. As a last resort, try reinstalling STS. You can leave your workspace in tact, just unzip STS again.
