Re: [aspectj-users] Is it possible to use .aj files from a jar

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a reason why you are not adding the jar that contains
FooBarAspect onto your Aspect Path?  That should be sufficient for
compilation/weaving purposes.  I am not sure why you require the
source code for this.  The Aspect class file should be all that is
required.
