I have a simple project that uses Spring AOP. It uses annotation from AspectJ. The project is in Maven and it compiles ok with aspectjtools-1.7.4
. With aspectjtools-1.8.9
it fails to see accept annotation @Aspect
imported from org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect
. The same project gives no problems with Gradle and same JARs.
Why would my code not work with latest revision of AspectJ, but works ok with older one?
I am attaching pom.xml:

I guess it must have something to do with compliance-levels or similar things. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks.
