This error occurs only in bamboo, when I compile directly the project works.

body: Hello [@Allam Chaves](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1168878),

So I can get a better understanding to the issue described, could you please let us know:

* *when I compile directly the project works.*   
  * Compile directly from where (IDE or Terminal)
  * if from IDE, could you please review if you had aspectjrt.jar available to classpath as an import. If this is the case, you should provide the same to your source code, so it can ben compiled outside the IDE
* *This error occurs only in bamboo*
  * could you compile the same project from **Terminal** and review if the same compiles successfully  

    ```
    cd /path/to/maven-project
    /usr/share/maven2/bin/mvn clean install
    ```

<!-- -->

* are you running your project using **Maven2**, according to Bamboo's capability (/usr/share/maven2/bin/mvn), this is what seems to be

Kind regards,

Rafael
