AspectJ and Maven

I try to get AspectJ working in an exisiting project (actually I don't know much about that project, because it seemed unimportant).

We decided to use the load time weaving to avoid using ajc

Because I'm new to AspectJ I created first an example project with some classes and a logging aspect:

@Aspect
public class LoggingAspect {

    @Pointcut("call(public de.test.beans.IPerson+.*(..))")
    public void logExecutions(JoinPoint jp) {}

    @Before("logExecutions(jp)")
    public void beforeExecutions(JoinPoint jp) {
        BeforeExecutionLog log = new BeforeExecutionLog(jp);
        System.out.println(log);                
    }

    @AfterReturning(pointcut = "logExecutions(jp)", returning = "ret")
    public void afterExecutions(JoinPoint jp, Object ret) {
        AfterExecutionLog log = new AfterExecutionLog(jp, ret);        
        System.out.println(log);        
    }    

}

It's working fine, everything is nice.

As next step I tried to use AspectJ and Maven together. I just changed the logging aspect a bit (just the package).

According to code from the book "AspectJ in Action" I modified our maven pom.xml

       <dependencies>
            ...
        <dependency>
           <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
           <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
           <version>1.6</version>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.12.M1</version>
        </dependency>       
       </dependencies>
        <plugin>                                                 
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>            
            <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.4</version>
            <executions>                                         
                <execution>                                      
                    <goals>                                      
                        <goal>compile</goal>                     
                    </goals>                                     
                    <configuration>                              
                        <source>1.5</source>                     
                        <target>1.5</target>                     
                    </configuration>                             
                </execution>                                     
            </executions>                                        
        </plugin>

But if try to call mvn clean install I get thousands of errors and the first one is:

[ERROR] Syntax error on token "call(public xxx.yyy.zzz.api.Service+.*(..))", "name pattern" expected
[ERROR] Method annotated with @Pointcut() for abstract pointcut must be abstract

There are also following errors:

[ERROR] The method xyz() of type zyx must override a superclass method

I guess these are all methods which are affected by my aspect.

Can anybody explain me, what is wrong?

Thank you in advance

UPD:

I updated my question.

There is an error in a name pattern: return type is missing. Try asterix for any type:

@Pointcut("call(public * de.test.beans.IPerson+.*(..))")

Maybe it will be useful for someone.

[ERROR] The method xyz() of type zyx must override a superclass method

this error appears then you try to compile code with javac ver1.5 and have @Override annotation over the methods that just implemented in java class.

public interface A { void someMethod(); }
public class B implements A {
  @Override
  public void someMethod() {
    doSomething();
  }
}

i use this

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <source>1.6</source>
    <target>1.6</target>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Find here in detail

Your example seem incomplete and errors you showed doesn't match the code, but I don't see any issues compiling your aspect class using the following pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
