You can use 2 strategies:
1/ offline weaving: you can do the offline weaving considering that the project is already binary 
(so the weaving will go over the .class and not on the sources). Unfortunately I cannot remember the 
terms aj is using for these.

2/ load-time-weaving: this is clear that will work

ps: i promise i will update my memories on aj asap :-S.
