Load into Eclipse with the AJDT and you can see the aspect getting applied. For this example the AjLib jar is extracted into the project also. The src to the example is attached - see the attachments tab.

HellowWorld.java:

{color:#7f0055}*package*{color} com.AjlibTest;
{color:#7f0055}*public*{color} {color:#7f0055}*class*{color} HelloWorld
{
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; {color:#7f0055}*public*{color} {color:#7f0055}*static*{color} {color:#7f0055}*void*{color} main(String\[\] args)
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; {
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; DummyObject dummyObject = {color:#7f0055}*new*{color} DummyObject();
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; dummyObject.someMethod(5);
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; }
}

DummyObject.java:

{color:#7f0055}*package*{color} com.AjlibTest;
{color:#7f0055}*public*{color} {color:#7f0055}*class*{color} DummyObject
{
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; {color:#7f0055}*public*{color} {color:#7f0055}*int*{color} someMethod({color:#7f0055}*int*{color} i)
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; {
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; {color:#7f0055}*return*{color} 7;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; }
}

TestTraceAspect.aj:
{color:#7f0055}*package*{color} com.AjlibTest;
{color:#7f0055}*import*{color} org.codehaus.ajlib.util.tracing.ExecutionTracing;
{color:#7f0055}*public*{color} {color:#7f0055}*aspect*{color} TestTraceAspect {color:#7f0055}*extends*{color} ExecutionTracing
{
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; {color:#7f0055}*public*{color}&amp;nbsp; pointcut scope() :within(DummyObject);
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; before(): scope()
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
{         System.out.println("Tracing");     }
}
With AjLib extracted along with the src into a single eclipse project for the purposes of this example, the resulting directory strructure looks like this:
org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\AbstractTracing.aj
org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\BasicTraceFormatter.aj
org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\CustomTraceable.aj
org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\ExecutionTracing.aj
org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\ExtensibleTracing.aj
org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\GuardTracing.aj
org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\Log4jExecutionTracing.aj

org\codehaus\ajlib\util\tracing\NotTraced.aj
