Compiling an abstract aspect with ajc in a library.jar

{{{
@Aspect
public abstract class AbstractAspect {

  	@Pointcut
	public abstract void abstractPointcut();

	@Around("abstractPointcut()")
	public Object doAroundAdvice() {
		...
	}
}
}}}

When using this library and extending the abstract aspect, the abstractPointcut is no longer visible, because it is marked synthetic (e.g., in Eclipse)

{{{
@Aspect
public class ConcreteAspect extends AbstractAspect {
	
	@Pointcut("")
	@Override
	public void abstractPointcut() {
		// empty
	}
}
}}}
