Say I have the following in a project called Test.

Test/src/some/pkg/Foo.java:

package some.pkg;
public interface Foo {
	void bar();
}

Test/src/some/pkg/FooImpl.aj:

package some.pkg;
public aspect FooImpl {
	public void Foo.bar() {
		System.out.println("AJDT");
	}
}

Test/src/some/pkg/Baz.java

package some.pkg;
public class Baz implements Foo {
}

This works fine. However, if you refactor and move Baz to another project that depends on this one, it will fail to compile because it doesn't implement the method bar.

Do aspects in AJDT only work within a single project? Is it not possible to do cross-project intertypes like this?

ITD certainly do work across projects, but there are certain ways that you need to set your projects up to ensure this works.

First, in order to get compilation to work, you need to make sure that the dependent project places the depending project on its aspect path. This further requires that the dependent project is an aspectj project as well.
