Look at http://www.aspectj.org Basically, it was designed to do just this, sort of.
Someone on my team did this and put in timing and some other stuff. It took him an hour or less to figure it out and have it running. We use it for development. It is a bit too powerful. It can get pretty confusing. You want to avoid aspect on top of aspect code. You'll never be able to figure out why something is behaving the way it is.

I'm presuming most people have worked on projects with extensive class libraries and it would be great if there was a class parser that could intelligently insert log4j statements automatically. If there isn't anything out there like that, does anyone know of a java class parser that can be used to do this sort of thing? Thoughts or ideas?
