Why Spring AOP is not weaving external jars at runtime?

Question

I have a java application build upon Spring 3. This project has another jar as a dependency.

This dependency contains a @org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect

Answer 1

I have the same problem. I solved this problem packaging with maven. Check the aspectj-maven-plugin and option weaveDependency
