JavassistInstrumentor throws ClassNotFoundException when scanning annotations ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4031 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4031 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Wicket Reporter: Paul Mooney Assignee: Clint Popetz A ClassNotFoundException is thrown when the javassistInstrumentor encounters annotations that are not in the classpath. This happens when : -Using the seam-instrument-wicket plugin -scanAnnotations is true -Classes that match the 'includes' patterns have a TYPE targetted annotation which is defined in the project, or in an artifact that is not a dependency of the plugin. This seems to happen because dependencies of the project, and the project's classes are not in the classpath of the seam-instrument-wicket plugin. Possible Solutions: 1. Somehow put all of the project's dependencies and classes in the plugin's classpath when it runs. or 2. Replace all calls to 'CtClass.getAnnotations()' inside of JavassistInstrumentor with 'CtClass.getAvailableAnnotations()' which only loads Annotations on the classpath and does not throw a ClassNotFoundException.
