Description Nicholas Lesiecki CLA 2003-01-17 03:36:44 EST 
Compiling:

package cantfind;
public class SomeObject {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    }
    
    public static aspect Referencer{
        pointcut mainCall() : call(void main(..));
        pointcut myMainCall() : mainCall(); 
    }   
}

with:

C:\aopbook_tech\aop7>ajc -Xlint -sourceroots cantfind

yields:

can't find referenced pointcut

1 error

Commenting out the myMainCall() declaration fixes the error.
