Hi Brett, There is no HOWTO on doing that, I'm afraid. Although in terms of packaging it is straightforward (a variant of just copying the three main aspectj jars into three AJDT plugins), the interfaces between AspectJ and AJDT have continued to evolve and you are very likely to hit something like an abstractmethoderror. However, if you really want to try it, shutdown eclipse then copy aspectjtools.jar (from an installed 1.6.8) as ajde.jar in the org.aspectj.ajde plugin. Copy aspectjweaver.jar into org.aspectj.weaver and aspectjrt.jar into org.aspectj.runtime (backup what you currently have before overwriting the existing jars).
After doing your development in eclipse, can you instead just kick off a build outside of eclipse (using 1.6.8) and deploy the result instead of directly deploying the classes that the IDE built? I'm suggesting this as a way to avoid grabbing Eclipse 3.5 (and AJDT 2.0.2: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/35/update/ajdt_2.0.2_for_eclipse_3.5.zip ).
