spring/beanfactory issue Java 1.7.0 - pointcut issues

Not sure which component this belongs to since it appears to be a problem with the IcedTea JDK

I get the same result with the official java 1.7 distro from sun:
rpmquery jdk
jdk-1.7.0-fcs.x86_64

I'm seeing the same issue with a very recent 1.10-branch snapshot build on a Fedora 15 x86_64 system with the Sun / Oracle JDK release 1.7.0:

[jeffg@flyingfox opennms-1.10]$ /usr/java/jdk1.7.0/jre/bin/java -version
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-b147)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)

Bumping severity to Major since this JDK is now released. Probably should consider making this a blocker for 1.10, even if the resolution is to blacklist this particular JVM in runjava.

Full exception stack trace, sorry:

Make it clearer this is not just an IcedTea / OpenJDK issue

I fixed this by changing the version of aspectj to the one referenced by the spring poms.
