Problems whit AspecJ AOP Configuration in Spring : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 can't find referenced pointcut

I am studying AspectJ annotation to configure AOP in Spring Framework reading this article: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring/aspectj_based_aop_appoach.htm

Differently from this article I am not manually adding the jars in my project but I am using Maven.

The problem is that when I try to execute the MainApp class I obtain the following error:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'student' defined in class path resource [Beans.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: error at ::0 can't find referenced pointcut selectAll

I think I have missed some dependency but I can't understand what...

This is my pom.xml:

    </dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

Why I have this problem? What can I do to solve?

Tnx Andrea

SOLUTION (solved by myself):

I have deleted these two dependencies from my pom.xml file:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.1.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
        <artifactId>aspectjtools</artifactId>
        <version>1.6.2</version>
    </dependency>

And the I have replaced it with this one:

    <dependency>
                <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
                <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
                <version>1.6.8</version>
           </dependency>

And seems work fine :-)

@AndreaNobili, the following is my maven dependency. Glad you solved the problem on you own.

<!-- Application Context -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.framework.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- Spring AOP -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.framework.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- to use AspectJ style AOP interception -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.11</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.11</version>
</dependency>
