Well, there seems to be another bug related to generics that I hit. The
original code compiled fine in Eclipse 3.5.2, but not so with AJDT. Will try
to isolate the problem into a small test case.

Well, I encountered some bugs related to compiling plain Java code which
were fixed in later versions of the JDT compiler. If I suggest to management
to go with AspectJ there may be some questions raised about versions,
compatibility, and stability. If I could tell them that there were some bugs
that were fixed amazingly fast, but that an update to a supposedly more
stable upstream JDT compiler is under way, I could probably more easily
pacify their concerns.

But other than that, I'm still astonished how fast those two bugs were
fixed!
