Description Ramnivas Laddad CLA 2006-08-25 10:28:04 EDT 
Trying to compile the second example (the one with generic aspect parameter) in 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/aspectj-home/doc/ajdk15notebook/pertypewithin.html

results in the following compile-time error:
"only abstract aspects can have type parameters"
Comment 1 Matthew Webster CLA 2006-08-30 07:44:37 EDT 
I suspect this example pre-dates the complete implementation of AspectJ 5. The documentation (http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/adk15notebook/generics-inAspectJ5.html) now states:

Generic Aspects
AspectJ 5 allows an abstract aspect to be declared as a generic type. Any concrete aspect extending a generic abstract aspect must extend a parameterized version of the abstract aspect. Wildcards are not permitted in this parameterization. 

You will also notice the example you show had gone from the public version of the documentation http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/adk15notebook/pertypewithin.html.
