For the modules that provide annotations, Powertools for AWS Lambda (Java) leverages the aspectj library.
You may need to add the good version of aspectjrt to your dependencies based on the JDK used for building your function:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>
<artifactId>aspectjrt</artifactId>
<version>1.9.??</version>
</dependency>JDK - aspectj dependency matrix
| JDK version | aspectj version |
|---|---|

1.9.7 |
11-17 |
1.9.20.1 |
21 |
1.9.21 |
