I am getting tons of yellow warnings in the problem view all reading:

Severity and Description Path Resource Location Creation Time Id
the shadow for this join point is not exposed in the structure model:
method-call(void myPackage.MyClass.someMethod())
[Xlint:shadowNotInStructure] myProcject line 78 1159285096719 9128305

What is AJDT trying to tell me here? Is this an error or a problem?
Should I be concerned? Could some kind soul elaborate a bit what this
message is supposed to mean, please?

Michael

PS.: This is on Eclipse 3.3M2 (20060914) with AJDT 1.5.0 (20060920) - as
usual on the bleeding edge... :-)

It suggests it couldn't find the shadow for the method call to
someMethod() when trying to build an advice relationship - so this is
likely to cause a missing icon in the gutter and a missing entry in the
cross references view. But if you run your testcases and your
application works ... don't worry too much about it - however, if you
have the time to create a testcase for us, we will investigate.

The point of my question was more: what precisely *is* this "shadow for
a method call"? Is that something an aspect writer has to know about or
should be aware of? Does this influence whether a pointcut can be
identified or not (i.e. if the aspect will be applied and woven in or
not)?

I simply don't understand the warning message, i.e. what a "shadow" is
(in this context).
