Using the ASTParser to parse .class files. [message #207917]

Hi,

If you want to parse a .class file using the ASTParser do you first have
to implement the IClassFile? Parsing the source .java text file is not
a problem only the .class file. Also can the parsing of .class files be
done outside of the Eclipse environment?

Thanks,

Peter.

Using an ASTParser should be used only to parse source code. The
setSource(IClassFile) works only if the IClassFile has an attached source.
If you want to get information about a .class file, you might want to
look at the org.eclipse.jdt.core.util.IClassFileReader API.
