It works for us on maven using compile time weaving, try adding the following plugins:

org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin

    1.6
    true
    1.6
    1.6




org.codehaus.mojo
aspectj-maven-plugin

    
        compile
        
            1.6
            1.6
            false
            true
            
                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-aspects
                
            
        
        
            compile
        
    
    
        test-compile
        
            1.6
            1.6
            false
            
                
                    org.springframework
                    spring-aspects
                
            
        
        
            test-compile
        
    


    
        org.aspectj
        aspectjweaver
        1.6.4
    

Its done as two separate execution steps to allow you to add different aspect libraries for unit testing and compilation.

You'll also need the following dependency added for the spring-aspects library:

    
        org.springframework
        spring-aspects
        compile
