Getting the following during context loading:

I've tried with with Spring 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 with JDK 1.5. We're using "@AspectJ" so <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/> is set, and aspectjweaver.jar and aspectjrt.jar are included. The Spring IDE shows that AOP advise is applied to expected pointcuts. When compiled and run outside of the Spring IDE, the application encounters the NPE.

Ideas?
