Dependent class compilation [message #915798]

Is there a way to detect when dependent classes are compiled? By dependent classes, I mean those classes that weren't specified, but get compiled because the specified classes depend on them.

We're using JDT as the front-end of a translator, and our users want the translator to have the same behavior. I don't know any sort of compiler listener interface, or some other way to be notified that a dependent class is getting compiled. Perhaps ASTParser.createASTs() returns more compilation units than the number of source files? ProgressMonitor hack, perhaps?

Any help would be appreciated,
Tom
