Thanks Matt. I've been reading through the both mails. What I was asking myself is why this is 
considered an AspectJ bug: as far as I know f.e. javac doesn't allow multiple output directories. I 
don't know about the JDT compiler but to me it would look rather weird to have this option into the 
compiler (how are you giving the source dirs per output dir).

Can you detail a little the rationale behind this?
