<path id="aspectj-ant.lib">
	<pathelement location="${aspectj.home}/lib/aspectjrt.jar" />
	<pathelement location="${aspectj.home}/lib/aspectjtools.jar" />
</path>
<taskdef
resource="org/aspectj/tools/ant/taskdefs/aspectjTaskdefs.properties">
	<classpath refid="aspectj-rt.lib" />
	<classpath refid="aspectj-tools.lib" />
</taskdef>

usage example:

<iajc
	srcdir="${aspect-src.dir}"
	outJar="${aspect.jar}"
	aspectpathref="aspectpath.lib"
	verbose="${verbose}"
	>
	<include name="**/*.aj" />
		<classpath refid="classpath.lib" />
		<classpath refid="aspectj-ant.lib" />
		<classpath refid="build-bin.lib" />
	</iajc>
</iajc>

As you can see I use aspectJ to only weave javac-compiled class files.
