Document the pros and cons in the POM with this comment:

Attention: aspectj-maven-plugin MUST be declared AFTER
maven-compiler-plugin, if they are both supposed to run in the same
default phases 'compile' and 'test-compile', but execution order is to
be guaranteed. Then, you have the convenience of being able to run e.g.
'mvn [clean] compile' instead of 'mvn [clean] process-classes'. For a
slightly less convenient, but less refactoring-error-prone solution,
see the commented-out phases below.
