There are now AspectJ 1.7.1 snapshot builds that address the issues I'm aware of (well, the issues logged in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=386888 ). To pick them up you'll need to specify 1.7.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT in your pom. It will be in AJDT dev builds in a day or two, which will be accessible at this update site:
