• User codelion's hint makes sense, please change your tag (typo?) - to .
• There is no need to downgrade to plugin version 1.6, you can keep 1.7.
• There is also no need to specify the configuration again within the section, the one at plugin level is enough.
• Please note that the default AspectJ version in plugin 1.7 is 1.8.2, so maybe your runtime dependency on 1.7.4 works, but if I were you I would upgrade that one too, optimally in sync with the plugin version. It is no hard requirement, but I think it makes sense.
• Maybe you even want to upgrade to the current version AspectJ 1.8.4, in the plugin as well as the runtime. This can also be achieved by adding a dependency to the desired aspectjtools version to the plugin configuration:
