I've been reading lombok code to get the answer for this question. It seems they use the -javaagent option to get control of the ast. It seems too that they modify jdt classes to get this functionality.

I hope jdt has a function that allows me to get it working directly. That is:

Inside an annotation processor 'process' method get the rootElements of the round and get the correponding dom's to be able of modify only the class file

I've readed surfing the net about casting between javax.lang.model.element.Element and the corresponding AST node but it seems not possible after reading the jdt help.

perhaps i'm a little blind. In any case, i need help Confused

thank you
