It sounds like you are doing the right things, I can't see why it doesn't 
work for you. Here is what I did:

Created a project with HelloWorld.java in the default package, containing:

public class HelloWorld {
        public void printHelloWorld() {
                System.out.println("Hello World");
        }
 
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                new HelloWorld().printHelloWorld();
        }
}

I then exported this to a JAR file, and created a new AspectJ project 
containing your aspect as above, and turned on weaving messages. I get a 
warning about "no match for this type name: HelloWorld", so I go to the 
project's "AspectJ InPath" property page and add the JAR I exported 
earlier. Rebuilding the AspectJ project then gives me the following line 
in the problem view:

Type 'HelloWorld' (HelloWorld.java:4) advised by around advice from 
'AspectHelloWorld' (AspectHelloWorld.aj:7)

My environment is AJDT 1.1.12, Eclipse 3.0.0, on Windows XP.

Are you doing anything differently to this? Or is your environment 
different? Maybe you've hit a bug.

Regards,

Matt.
