Standalone AST + compilation [message #147056]

Hi,
I'd like to create ASTs from scratch and in standalone (without having
to create a JavaProject). I'd like then to compile this AST into Java
bytecode. Can you tell me how can I do it?

Thanks!
Lionel

It is not possible to create a DOM AST outside the Eclipse runtime. Howver
you can run the compiler in batch (i.e. standalone) mode. See
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt- core-home/howto/batch%20compile/batchCompile.html

It seems, though, that the AST class now has a bunch of factory methods
(all prefixed with new). You can just do:

AST newAST = new AST();
newAST.newPackageDeclaration("com.foo");
....

You have to use the factory methods in conjunction with corresponding
set methods. Since there is no 3.x JavaDoc, just open the source for AST
and ASTNode and have a look. There are some good JDs in there....

HTH.
