The wrapper advice in the managed project is causing lots of projects that use its annotations to gain transitive dependencies on AOP via maven. 1) I think this interception of the managed object interfaces is really something that belongs in the profile service, e.g. for trapping changes for the purposes of versioning, persisting, etc. 2) We should move these classes into the "test" part of the managed project if we really need to write mock tests for this behaviour in that project?
