Please confirm AJDT version and if possible try on a more recent version. As written on bug 488362 I'm half suspecting these are old JDT issues that are no longer found in an up to date AspectJ.

I notice it says AJDT for Eclipse 4.4.  Unfortunately there are no further updates for that version and that probably explains why you are seeing the problem, you need to get to a later eclipse. It should be addressed in a 4.5 version.

I'd recommend Eclipse 4.5 in any case, even without AspectJ, because the included JDT compiler has also had many fixes go in since then.
