Hi there,

I'm trying to generate some Java code using AST but I'm having trouble
finding the API to serialize the AST to a .java file.

Any clues?

Thank you!

You must use Eclipse 3.0 or above and look at the classes in the package
org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.rewrite. You have code snippets in the javadoc
of these classes.

Right, but that seems like a cumbersome way to do it, not to mention that it
seems kind of slow too. I must start with an empty document which I have to
first parse, express my type declarations as changes to the empty
compilation unit that I just parsed and then rewrite the original document
(which was empty).

Why cannot I directly start with an AST from scratch and then "write" (not
rewrite) it to a .java file? I don't want to use APIs that tracks changes!

Thanks,
Oleg
