Adding a field/method without parsing the entire source [message #252769]

Eclipse User

After typechecking of my source code say I internally add(I donot edit) a
field declaration. So how can I utilise the incremental approach of
Eclipse (say using the internal datastructure from the previous
compilation phase). That is do I have to again parse(diet as well as full)
the entire file and typecheck. Or do I use somehow(I donot know how) only
that part of the code that has been newly added (here in this case , a
field declaration) and send this to the parser. The reason is I am justr
adding a new node into the parse
tree that has alredy been created. Is this possible?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
