Apparently, there already is an AspectJ plugin for IntelliJ (and it works on 9.0): http://intellij.expertsystems.se/aspectj.html However, it does not seem very complete since only annotation style is supported.
If there is support for creating an IntelliJ plugin, I will be able to provide some advice (no pun intended), but will not contribute to it due to a conflict of interest (I already work on STS). One of the benefits of building AspectJ tool support on Eclipse (as opposed to other IDEs) is that ajc is a modified jdt compiler. Although datastructures are not shared between ajc and the eclipse runtime, they are analogous and so translating between the two is simplified. It would not be the same on IntelliJ.
