Inserting comments above a particular ASTNode [message #220059]

I'm trying to insert a comment before a particular ASTNode.

For example, I try to discover wherever a particular function or class is
used. Then I would like
to add a line comment just before that statement.

Any ideas on how to do that?

Thanks,

James.

I assume you use an ASTRewrite. Then you can just create your comment with

astRewrite.createStringPlaceholder("//comment", ASTNode.EMPTY_STATEMENT)

and then insert this node in the statement list before the node to be
documented.

Hi Markus

Thanks for the reply.

Pardon the newbie question... but are you suggesting to get a ListRewrite
and then do a listRewrite.insertBefore() ?

When I attempt this I get exceptions ( after numerous attempts ).

Thanks again,

- James.
