The file AspectBug.java:

public aspect AspectBug extends AbstractCaching
perthis(execution(ContainerLoader+.new(..)))
{
	declare parents: ContainerDescriptor implements AbstractCaching.Key;

	protected pointcut loadExecutions( Key key ):
		ContainerLoader.containerLoads( *, key );
}

abstract aspect AbstractCaching  {
	interface Key {}
	protected abstract pointcut loadExecutions(Key key);
}

class Key {
}

class ContainerDescriptor {
}

class ActiveContainer {
}

class ContainerLoader {
	public ActiveContainer createContainer(ContainerDescriptor c) {
		return null;
	}

    public pointcut containerLoads(ContainerLoader loader,
								   
ContainerDescriptor containerDesc ):
        this(loader) && args(containerDesc)
        && execution(ActiveContainer ContainerLoader.createContainer
(ContainerDescriptor));
}

        First, here are the versions of AspectJ I'm using (this is a bash
        shell under cygwin on Windows XP):

~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.0\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.0/bin/ajc -
version
ajc version 1.0.6 (built Jul 24, 2002 6:21 PM PST) running on java 1.4.1_02
~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.1\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.1/bin/ajc -
version
AspectJ Compiler 1.1.0
~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.1.1rc1
\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.1.1rc1/bin/ajc -version
AspectJ Compiler 1.1.1rc1
~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.1.1
\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.1.1/bin/ajc -version
AspectJ Compiler 1.1.1

        For all four of these compilers, I give them the AspectBug.java file
	(which is attached):

~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.0\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.0/bin/ajc 
AspectBug.java
~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.1\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.1/bin/ajc 
AspectBug.java
~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.1.1rc1
\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.1.1rc1/bin/ajc AspectBug.java
~> CLASSPATH='C:\aspectj1.1.1
\lib\aspectjrt.jar' /cygdrive/c/aspectj1.1.1/bin/ajc AspectBug.java
C:\Documents and Settings\Macneil Shonle\AspectBug.java:7 incompatible type, 
expected ContainerDescriptor found BindingTypePattern(AbstractCaching$Key, 0)

1 error

        As you can see, only the final run (with the Sept 11 build of
	ajc) do we see the "incompatible type" error. If this is not a
	regression but a desirable result, how should the code be ported?
