The renamed starter's own POM declares exactly spring-aop + aspectjweaver as compile
dependencies -- the same two jars this module's own pom.xml already lists as the reason it
depends on spring-boot-starter-aspectj. There is no missing third piece and no behavioural
difference from assembling the two jars by hand; the starter just does it for you, correctly
versioned, in one line.
