Re: [aspectj-users] Runtime weaving without agent 
Check out http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/next/weaver-api/org/aspectj/weaver/loadtime/WeavingURLClassLoader.html.

Here is a little old code snippet I found in one of my projects when I implemented a plug-in concept in which I had the aspect code in my main project, but wanted to advise plugin JARs which were loaded on demand. Feel free to modify it according to your needs:

	private void loadPlugin(String pluginJar, String pluginClassName) throws Exception {
		echo("Trying to load plugin JAR " + pluginJar);
		ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
		WeavingURLClassLoader weaver = new WeavingURLClassLoader(
			new URL[] { new File(pluginJar).toURI().toURL() },
			new URL[] { loader.getResource(".") },
			loader
		);
		Class<?> pluginClass = weaver.loadClass(pluginClassName);
		Plugin plugin = (Plugin) pluginClass.newInstance();
		plugin.init(this);
		plugins.add(plugin);
		echo("Successfully loaded and initialised plugin '" + plugin.getName() + "'");
	}
