I'm not an expert on Aspects or CDI, but I feel that AoP has largely 
been replaced in the Java world by CDI (Context and Dependency 
Injection).  Which is perhaps why you haven't seen much discussion of AoP.

AoP is probably important in some fields of research and with other 
languages, or with specialized systems.  But most of us here are 
generalists, and AoP doesn't seem to be used much, if at all, in general 
Java programming.
