but the result is a jar that includes both the "library" and the
"target" .. I did not see options to exclude the "library"

maybe I missed some option with the aspect-maven-plugin?

or maybe I'm making this difficult .. just don't jar everything
automatically .. instead do the weave, remove the library classes then
do a separate packaging

great pointer .. thx .. looks to be just what I need .. hopefully there
is something stable there
