No, this sounds like a nice extension for AJDT to me.

(Speaking in ignorance of AJDT internals) Indeed,
it would be nice if AJDT supported new-aspect components.
The components could declare any classpath additions and
handle the new-aspect customization.  AJDT would load these
from a predefined directory and handle the process of
listing the entry and invoking the component API,
providing a callback for updating the project classpath
and for specifying the aspect file and whether it should
be in the default build.

That would make it possible for people to publish
customizable library aspects, as you'd like, without
having each one be incorporated into AJDT and without
having a flavor of AJDT out there for each such integration.
Very nice.
