Glad this works for you.

Something like this might work.  Since you are only dealing with
executions, it should always be a MethodSignature.

public aspect SignatureTests {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }

    before() : execution(public static void main(String[])) {
        System.out.println(((MethodSignature)
thisJoinPoint.getSignature()).getParameterNames()[0]);
    }

}
