Re: [aspectwerkz-user] Eclipse integration using annotations

Are you using the AspectWerkz Eclipse plugin with the AW nature turned on ?
if so, yes you need an aop.xml file as explained in
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/AW/Eclipse+plugin

"For weaving to occur, the system needs to know which class is an
aspect. Just as usual, this is done
thru the META-INF/aop.xml descriptor.
There is no requirements for this part. You just need to have one or
more META-INF/aop.xml file in your classpath - be it the project
itself or within a dependency jar file that may contains bundled
aspects.
A common practice is to have the project aop.xml file in the
<project>/src/META-INF/aop.xml location."
