Hi,
indeed, I recently had this situation. In case "myTarget" is a
Interface, I use a dynamicProxy to implement it. It doesn't need
to have any usable Implementation, because any call will be
advised and redirected. It is just there "to make javac happy".
Ok, this is ugly, but I don't have to implement any methot by hand.

this is true, though. At the moment, I see no easy solution besides
having another advice with higher precedence for the calls, I want
to handle in a specific manner. Any other suggestions?
