Very strange, reported on the list:

I am using eclipse right now to do my aspectj coding, and I can't seem
to create a concrete aspect in package x from an abstract aspect in
package y. I always get the error:
 "inherited abstract pointcut bar.PrintAround.method() is not made
concrete in foo.PrintAroundFoo"

Here is a small example that exhibits this issue:

package bar;

public abstract aspect PrintAround {

       abstract pointcut method();

       Object around(): method() {
               System.out.println("-before-");
               Object r = proceed();
               System.out.println("-after-");
               return r;
       }

}
//---------------------------------------------------

package foo;

public class Foo {
       public static void main (String[] args) {
               System.out.println("foo!");
       }
}
//---------------------------------------------------

package foo;

import bar.PrintAround;

public aspect PrintAroundFoo extends PrintAround {

       pointcut method() : call (void Main(String[]));

}
//---------------------------------------------------

I worked around this issue before, but right now I'm trying to create
a library of aspects, and it's a pain that I have to make the aspects
always be part of the application namespace.
