Re: [aspectj-users] NoClassDefFoundError: org/aspectj/runtime/internal/C

Hi!

It might be a classloader issue. I think I had similar issues in the past. 
Have you tried to add aspectjrt.jar to the bootclasspath ?  Not sure there is 
a good explanation for this, but it has solved some similar problems in the 
past. The JDK classes are loaded by the system classloader and for some 
reasons it may expect to find the CFlowCounter in the bootclasspath as well.
