Maven/AJDT project in Eclipse

Question

I need to use aspectj in a maven project. I installed the maven plugin for eclipse (m2e), the maven aspectj plugin, and also AJDT for Eclipse. So now, when i open a new project i have "Maven Project" and "AspectJ Project". how can i make a new project that is Maven AspectJ project? I did not found any reference for that, so you are my only hope. thanks

You should add the maven-aspectj-plugin to your build plugins section in your pom.xml as in:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <goals>
          <!-- use this goal to weave all your main classes -->
          <goal>compile</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
      <complianceLevel>1.6</complianceLevel>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
