Description Andrew Clement CLA 2012-04-16 17:52:12 EDT 
UnresolvedType nameToSignature used to (at AspectJ 1.6.10 level) throw an assert if the name is of this form:

[Ljava.lang.String;

it is expecting this form:

java.lang.String[]

(the former would come out of a call to String[].class.getName())

If you have enableassertions on it will tell you it doesn't understand that format.  Without ea on, it will silently eat it and produce something incorrect - by some fluke that signature will resolve to the right thing but really it isn't correct.  This has been picked up in https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-7989
