[aspectj-users] NPE in Java15AnnotationFinder.getParameterNamesFromLVT

["Chris Wall" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When my plugin is initiated and during Spring context beans loading,
we're getting the following:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

I've tried with with Spring 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 with JDK 1.5. We're using
"@AspectJ" so <aop:aspectj-autoproxy/> is set, and aspectjweaver.jar
and aspectjrt.jar are included. The Spring IDE shows that AOP advise
is applied to expected pointcuts. When compiled and run outside of the
Spring IDE, the application encounters the NPE.

Ideas?
