breakpoint is not getting triggered when set on an aspectj controller file.

Set a break point in _Controller.aj file, an example shown below.
FooController_Roo_Controller [entry] - FooController.update(Foo, BindingResult, Model, HttpServletRequest)
FooController_Roo_Controller [entry] - FooController.updateForm(Long, Model)

Test the application and I am able to verify the break point is not getting triggered in STS IDE 2.8.1.

Workaround:

Cut the methods from FooController_Roo_Controller.aj and move it to FooController_Roo.java and repeat the exercise. Now I am able to verify the break points do get triggered.

I remember break points even when placed in the aj files getting triggered but that was long back. Can't remember in which version it worked and when it stopped working.

Thanks,
