ASTNode to IJavaElement conversion possible? [message #124980]

Hi,

Is it possible to easily convert from an ASTNode to the corresponding
IJavaElement and vice versa. Does it make sense to do this?

I have been using IJavaElements in my code for their simplicity but I am now
starting to use the AST to gather more information. How can I bridge this
gap without having to rewrite much code?

Cheers,
Rob

For IMember (and other instances of ISourceReference) you can
get ISourceRange and then can use offset and length to find ASTNode.

for the other way: see what the NodeFinder class does
a.

Thanks for the hints... but I was more interested in converting in the other
direction, from ASTNode to IJavaElement, in particular for methods.

I've just noticed the
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.dom.Binding2JavaElement class which I will
explore.

Cheers,

Rob
