I put my general aspect with an abstract pointcut into one package. The
application-specific (concrete) aspect should be located in another package: 


 // File aspects/AbstractAspect.java 
 package aspects;
 public abstract aspect AbstractAspect {
   abstract pointcut myPointcut();
   before(): myPointcut() {
     System.out.println("before myPointcut.");
   }
 }


 // File myApp.ConcreteAspect.java
 package myApp;
 public aspect ConcreteAspect extends aspects.AbstractAspect {
   pointcut myPointcut(): execution( void myApp.RunTest.say(String));
 }



 // File myApp/RunTest.java
 package myApp;
 public class RunTest{
   public static void main(String[] args){
     say( "Hello");
   }
	
   public static void say(String msg){
     System.out.println(msg);
   }	
 }


The ajc-compilers in version 1.1.1 and 1.2rc1 don't compile it:


[jb@SHARK test]$ /usr/local/java/aspectj-1.2rc1/bin/ajc -classpath
.:/usr/local/java/aspectj-1.2rc1/lib/aspectjrt.jar @default.lst

If you move ConcreteAspect into the same package as the abstract aspect it works
fine.
