There is possibly a bug here, but maybe it is something subtle because I just tried it and the scenario worked for me just fine. It is not really a complicated incremental build in this situation if the type you are annotating is the type that should get woven (as opposed to a subtype of the type that is annotated). When you save your file with the annotation on, it will be compiled and woven immediately. Any file that gets compiled is woven straightaway, the weaving is never skipped. So if you now have an annotation and the advice matches based on it, the weaver will advise it.

If it was rebuilt and the project is an AspectJ project, the weaver will have run. Perhaps raise a bug and we can investigate further.
