Applying #Around aspect to #Slf4j - spring

Question

Is it possible to apply an aspect to a maven dependency? I have other aspects in my project that work just fine, but when I try to apply this one to the #Slf4j logger it gets skipped. I determined that the pointcut was ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger.* by debugging and stepping into the log.info call but it still wont trigger the aspect. Is there a setting to enable it on dependencies?
The other commented out pointcuts are the ones i've tried but they either cause beans to fail to be created (they're not eligible to be processed by bean post processors) or don't do anything.
#Aspect
#Component
public class LoggingAspect {
#Around("execution(* ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger.*(..))"// && " +
// "execution(* lombok.*(..)) && " +
// "execution(* org.slf4j.*(..)) && " +
// "execution(* org.slf4j.Logger.*(..)) "
)
public Object prependBridgeRunId(ProceedingJoinPoint jp) throws Throwable {
//get original args
Object[] args = jp.getArgs();
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
Object raw = args[i];
if (raw instanceof String) {
// and replace it with a new value
args[i] = "{\"bridgeRunId\": " + GlobalConstants.getBridgeRunId() + "}" + raw;
}
}
//execute original method with new args
return jp.proceed(args);
}
}

I do not think that the old Mojohaus plugin version even supports Java 11, Java 8 should be the maximum. Please use a more up-to-date version (1.14.0) or - even better - switch to my own fork, which I am maintaining in parallel to maintaining AspectJ itself: https://github.com/dev-aspectj/aspectj-maven-plugin. Version 1.13.1 supports Java 17 and can be configured to also support future Java and AspectJ versions without requiring a plugin update. Tooling for Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA also works for this plugin.
Furthermore, when using post-compile binary weaving for third-party libraries, please be aware of the fact that the woven files will end up in your Maven module's target directory and packaged together with your artifact. In order to avoid having both the woven and unwoven variants of the same class files on the classpath, either make sure not to depend on the original during runtime or simply do the binary weaving in a separate Maven module and then depending on that module instead of the original library. That would be the cleanest solution.
As an alternative to post-compile weaving, you could simply use load-time weaving as describes in the Spring manual, chapter Using AspectJ with Spring Applications. Then you do not need to use AspectJ Maven Plugin at all, as long as you stick to annotation-based syntax and do not use native Aspectj syntax at all.
By the way, no matter if you use post-compile or load-time weaving, in neither case do you need to declare your aspect to be a Spring #Component. That might even have the negative side-effect of Spring trying to apply it as a Spring AOP aspect, even though it was already woven as a native AspectJ aspect.
