Re: [aspectj-users] problems with generated code

[Andrew Eisenberg <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What kind of annotation processor are you using?  Java 5 or 6?  If it
is Java 6, then there is not much that we can do.  If it is Java 5,
then things should work as long as you are not generating new source
files.
