[aspectj-users] How do you insert a protected finalize method ?

["Robert S. Baker" <rsbaker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to insert a protected finalize method into class to assist in
counting object instances, however, I keep getting "error protected
inter-type declarations are not allowed". I tried using "privileged",
with the same result.

After googling and searching the archives, I still have not come up with
an answer.

any ideas?
