Re: [aspectj-users] AspectJ M3a: compile error but donot know what's wro

[Adrian Colyer <adrian.colyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's nothing wrong with your code. I tried to reproduce this
problem with the latest AspectJ compiler, but was unable to do so. 
What version are you using when you compiled via Ant?

What does Subject look like in your application? I used an empty
interface for my tests...
The behaviour in AJDT looks like it could be related to some kind of
incremental compilation issue. If you do a full build of your project
and the problem goes away then I am even more suspicious of that. 
Anyway, please raise a bug report and we can try and diagnose what's
going on there.

Thanks, Adrian.
