Per (doc/adk15notebook/ataspectj-itds.html) documentation: "If the interface defines one or more operations, and these are not implemented by the target type, an error will be issued during weaving.".

However, if I use @DeclareParents with a non-marker interface targeted to a class that already includes the needed implementation, the compiler produces an incorrect error ("@DeclareParents: used with a non marker interface and no defaultImpl="..." ).

Here is example setup:
// NonMarkerInterface.java
package test;

public interface NonMarkerInterface {
	public void something();
}

// ClassThatAlreadyIncludeRequiredMethods.java
package test;

public class ClassThatAlreadyIncludeRequiredMethods {
	public void something() {
	}
}

// DeclareParentsForNonMarkerInterfaceToAClassThatAlreadyIncludeRequiredMethods.java

package test;

import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect;
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.DeclareParents;

@Aspect
public class DeclareParentsForNonMarkerInterfaceToAClassThatAlreadyIncludeRequiredMethods {
	@DeclareParents("test.ClassThatAlreadyIncludeRequiredMethods")
	public NonMarkerInterface nmi;
}
