Build Identifier: STS 2.5.1 CI-R6236-B157

When I save an annotated class this fail occurrs (the annotation used is not for aspects).

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjBuildManager.findOutputDirsForAspects(AjBuildManager.java:724)
at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjBuildManager.writeOutxmlFile(AjBuildManager.java:652)
at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjBuildManager.performBuild(AjBuildManager.java:367)
at org.aspectj.ajdt.internal.core.builder.AjBuildManager.batchBuild(AjBuildManager.java:181)
at org.aspectj.a ... oBuildJob.run(AutoBuildJob.java:242)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)

Compile error: NullPointerException thrown: null

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a maven project and import dependencies for spring mvc
2.Create a controller annotated class
3.Save
4.Create a J2EE project
5.Create a j2ee component like an annotated sessionbean

looks like a dup of bug 324190 (although the slight difference in line number is concerning).  Can you update your AJDT and see if it is resolved?  Use the dev update site for eclipse 3.6:

Did you try with an updated AJDT to see if it was already fixed?

Yes, I updated the AJDT and it works fine now. 
Thanks.
