It shouldn't be all that hard to change the field initializer, but it involves digging into the AST stuff using untyped collections. Here's a quick rundown:
The FieldDeclaration has a fragments() list property (since multiple fields can be declared in a single statement, I think), and the first value in this list is the VariableDeclarationFragment that actually declares the field. The VariableDeclarationFragment has a setInitializer() method which takes an Expression. You need to create the Expression, which in this case would be a ClassInstanceCreation. You need to create and set a Type on the ClassInstanceCreation, and to do that you need to create a Name using the class name. You create everything using the AST, which you can get from the FieldDeclaration. Hope that's enough to get you started. I suppose you could also take the approach used in CollectionMethodsDecorator of compiling a class from text and then using the compiled AST, but it's probably easier to just construct this simple expression directly. Let me know if you have too much trouble with this. I should probably add a decorator for this purpose anyway. - Dennis Dennis M.
