Andy,
Your advice :) worked like a charm!

Showing only relevant changes to code (RunMultipleAspect.java)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]("execution(@com.xxxx.util.annotation.RunMultiple * *.*(..)) &&
!within(RunMultipleAspect) && !cflow(adviceexecution())")*
public void repeat(JoinPoint jp) throws ClassNotFoundException,
            IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException,
            InvocationTargetException, InstantiationException {
        ....
        ....
*         //        if (++count < rmAnnotation.counter()) {
*//            if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
//                logger.trace("using object " + obj.hashCode());
//                logger.trace(obj.getClass().getName() + "." +
method.getName() + ", count: " + count);
//            }
//            method.invoke(obj, jp.getArgs());
*//        }
**        for (int i=0; i<rmAnnotation.counter(); i++) {
*            method.invoke(obj, jp.getArgs());
*        }
*    }

Another approach:
Your suggestion also made me realise that I could rewrite the pointcut to
pick out the method call join-point rather than the method execution and
then I would not need the !cflow(adviceexecution()). Like below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]("call(@com.xxxx.util.annotation.RunMultiple * *.*(..)) &&
!within(RunMultipleAspect)")*
public void repeat(JoinPoint jp) throws ClassNotFoundException,
            IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException,
            InvocationTargetException, InstantiationException {
        ....
        ....
*         //        if (++count < rmAnnotation.counter()) {
*//            if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
//                logger.trace("using object " + obj.hashCode());
//                logger.trace(obj.getClass().getName() + "." +
method.getName() + ", count: " + count);
//            }
//            method.invoke(obj, jp.getArgs());
*//        }
**        for (int i=0; i<rmAnnotation.counter(); i++) {
*            method.invoke(obj, jp.getArgs());
*        }
*    }

Question:
While looking at the output I see the following line:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] debug weaving 'com.xxxx.aop.util.RunMultipleAspect'

In my aop.xml, I did put an exclude for RunMultipleAspect:

    <weaver options="-verbose -showWeaveInfo -debug">
    <!-- <weaver> -->
        <include within="com.xxxx.aop.util..*" />
        <exclude within="com.xxxx.aop.util.RunMultipleAspect" />
    </weaver>

So why does aspectjweaver try to weave RunMultipleAspect? Is it because I am
telling the weaver to include all files in the "com.xxxx.aop.util" package.
>From the docs:
http://www.eclipse.org/aspectj/doc/released/devguide/ltw-configuration.html#weaver-options

"The set of types to be woven are those types matched by at least one weaver
include element and not matched by any weaver exclude element. If there are
no weaver include statements then all non-excluded types are included."

Thanks for your time and assistance, Andy!
