Hi folks,
I'm a newbie so please no flaming...
My question is simple, is it possible to use the org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom
functionality outside of the Eclipse platform?
In other words, can I convert a java source file (or any arbitrary source
code string) into a java representation. (In a similar way that JDOM
[www.jdom.org] converts a XML file into a java representation)
If so, how would I do it, i.e. how would I create a workspace and projects?
Do I need a workspace?
I'm sorry if this has been asked 500 times before (can find anything similar
on this newsgroup, although I am using Outlook Express...), I just have a
project in mind that the jdt DOM would be perfect for but the inclusion of
the Eclipse platform would be a costly overhead (in other words I would like
to cherry-pick the jdt DOM functionality...)
So, please let me know, or can you point me at some relevant
documents/websites, I can't find anything that seems to do what I want.
Many thanks,
Gary...
P.S. I don't really want to HAVE to use the Eclipse platform, whilst it
looks like a great tool I'm quite happy with javac and XEmacs ;)

This can be done, but is probably not the easiest thing to start off doing
when programming within Eclipse -- if you are undaunted you might want to
look at the test code for the JDT, some of them are (or were) sans-IDE
(Workbench). We had this working (as a test) quite a while back -- but
haven't kept it working.

I think you'd need to setup a project to allow references to be found (i.e.,
binding) if that is needed, you can create an AST without binding. I
suspect you still need to be within a project with a Java nature.

Yes, its the workbench you don't want.
Workbench=IDE
Workspace=resource management (files, directories, projects, Java files,
etc.)

Thanks Tim, that's very helpful, at least it gives me a starting point!
Yours,

P.S. I actually like the concept of a workspace and project so that'll help
me along... I just wish I could find better documentation about actually
coding rather than just binding your plugin into the GUI... oh well...
