when I add my project to Preference->AspectJ Build->Inpath, it report an exception error. 

ADJT version:2.2.3
Eclipse version:4.3.1

aspectJ-1.8.0.M1.jar
aspectjweaver-1.8.0.M1.jar
(I have added both jar file above to referenced libraries and Android private Libraries)

Error log see below.

Any way you could share the project with me (privately?) - I'd love to fix this for 1.8.0 which I'm building in the next 24hours.

You could try AspectJ 1.8.0.RC3 which may also make a difference since M1 was using a very beta version of the Eclipse Java8 compiler:

A similar problem is maybe described in Bug 475728

Under Bug 475728 I committed a change to 'give up' if we can't work it out. If the class is not providing the right means of expressing what is an inner class via attributes then we then try the string analysis, if that works we will now give up rather than throw the exception.
