Is there a Pretty Printer for JSDT DOM? [message #500517] Thu, 26 November 2009 13:54 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm currently using the core JSDT DOM API's for the purposes of code generation for a school project. While JSDT's ASTNode.toString is able to give us functional code, it's also rather ugly, and I'm wondering if anyone was aware of a pretty printer that could be used instead.

I'd appreciate any guidance anyone can offer. Thanks!

There are two I know of. The first is the ASTView plugin, and the second
is an annotation in project Lombok (projectlombok.org).

Hi David,

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately, I think ASTView will not be appropriate for me, as I'd like to get plaintext output, and avoid Eclipse runtime dependencies.

As for Lombok, I was wondering if you could point me to more information on this, as I wasn't able to find much about how to use it for pretty printing.

Please let me know. Thanks,

Jake

There is an annotation (PrintAST) which will format the AST to file.
