AspectJ + Gradle configuration

Question

I\'d like to use AspectJ in Gradle project (it\'s not an Android project - just a simple Java app).

Here is how my build.gradle looks like:

apply plugin

Just want to add the so called "official" plugin for AspectJ mentioned by Archie.

Here's some gradle script example on how to do it:

apply plugin: 'java'



sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
[compileJava, compileTestJava]*.options*.encoding = 'UTF-8'

if (!hasProperty('mainClass')) {
    ext.mainClass = 'com.aspectz.Main'
}
buildscript {
  repositories {
    maven {
      url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "gradle.plugin.aspectj:gradle-aspectj:0.1.6"
    //classpath "gradle.plugin.aspectj:plugin:0.1.1"
    //classpath "gradle.plugin.aspectj:gradle-aspectj:0.1.1"
  }
}


ext {
    aspectjVersion = '1.8.5'
}

apply plugin: "aspectj.gradle"


repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {

    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.10'
    compile("log4j:log4j:1.2.16")
    compile("org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.21")
    compile("org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.21")
    compile("org.aspectj:aspectjrt:1.8.5")
    compile("org.aspectj:aspectjweaver:1.8.5")


}

However, it seems that it only supports Java 8 and above. As when you use java 7 to build it, it got error :

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: aspectj/AspectJGradlePlugin : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
