relation between IMethod and MethodDeclaration [message #171874]

I am developing plugin which should do some modifications on the selected
method.
I use popup-menus extension point which reacts to
org.eclipse.jdt.core.IMethod types. If selected IMethod is in some
ICompilationUnit (not in class file) then I want to parse its javadoc
comment.
How to do this?
I know I can make an AST using ASTParser on the ICompilationUnit, but is
there a way to quickly map IMethod do MethodDeclaration in the parse tree?
The only thing I can think of searching entire parse tree for
MethodDeclaration which has the same parametars and return type as the
selected IMethod has.

Currently, there's no API to do this directly. Eclipse refactorings use the
internal method

ASTNodeSearchUtil#getMethodDeclarationNode(IMethod, CompilationUnit)

to do the mapping. It does a binary search in the AST to find the name node
of the method declaration based on IMethod#getNameRange().
