Version: 1.8.10.201612122115

I get an error dialog with title "AspecJ Internal Compiler Error"

It contains following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.lookup.SourceTypeBinding.evaluateNullAnnotations(SourceTypeBinding.java:2202)
at org.aspectj.org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.ast.ASTNode.resolveAnnotations(ASTNode.java:710)

I can confirm the same effect. Is there any progress here? Maybe there is a way to see the name of the "invalid" java file??

Could it be that an invalid package.info is the source of the error?

Very tough to progress this kind of thing when you can't recreate it. If someone has a small sample (or even a pointer to a large github sample) that exhibits the problem, they can be much easier to sort out. 

Try the AspectJ 1.9.0.RC1 build - does that have the same problem or offer different diagnostics?  Tried 1.8.12 release?

With the my current version

org.aspectj: 1.9.2.201902200030
org.eclipse.ajdt: 2.2.4.201902200030

the exception-line moved a little bit :)

@Andrew ... as in the other issue (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=532480 -  org.aspectj.weaver.BCException) which I reported ... I believe it has something todo with eclipse-jdt-null-analysis.
