Hi,

If I have an ASTNode of type MethodInvocation, what is the easiest way to
get the name of the object we are invoking a method on (i.e.: how to get
the name object3)?

Ex: object3.someMethod(p1, p2);

Thanks,
~Jeff

Expression expression = invocation.getExpression();
if (expression instanceof SimpleName) {
System.out.println(((SimpleName)expression).getIdentifier()) ;
} else {
System.out.println("Not a name.");
}
