the problem may relate to your specific environment where AspectJ is being used and will not be
reproducible by the AspectJ team. In one of these situations you may be asked to produce a
trace of the compiler when the problem occurs instead. This can then be attached to the bug report. </para>

+ <ulink url="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/logging/index.html">infrastructure</ulink>
+ that is configured using a logging.properties file. By default only error
+ and fatal events will be logged but less severe warnings as well as fine grained
+ method entry and exit events can be obtained using the appropriate configuration. All
+ compiler messages can also be logged through the infrastructure by setting the
+ <literal>org.aspectj.weaving.messages</literal> System property. </para>

+ <para> If you are using a JDK 1.4 or earlier AspectJ will use a simple built-in trace
+ infrastructure that logs to stderr. This is enabled by setting the

+ the default behaviour or provide your own trace implementation using the
