ajc -showWeaveInfo is the command line tool.  Your own message handler
can be plugged into ajc if you want to collect the information and
report it in some other way.

Annotation style does support Declare error/warning
(http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/adk15notebook/ataspectj-declare.html)
- but you would still need to use ajc to do the compilation so that
they can be applied.

I have heard from someone lately that is working on AspectJ weaving
integration into IntelliJ - but unfortunately I don't know the current
or future feature set.
