  I'm pretty new to AspectJ. I suggest starting by
copying all Luxor sources in a new module such as
luxor-aspectj so you can start refactoring
crosscutting concerns and we can see it all in action
and try it out.

  Let me know if you're interested and I'll add you to
the developer list and also let me know if you want me
to do the initial import into the sourceforge CVS.
Also if you want to use a different approach let us
know.
