Hi Marek, At this moment both are required and it probably will not change for a long time
DOM AST is a more complete and can be modified in runtime, unlike to compiler AST. I suggest you use a DOM AST together with ASTRewriter (very nice class ported from JDT). ASTRewriter use formatter internally and your SourceModules will be always formatted properly (in theory). I thought about it for class/interface and getter/setter generator for PDT-Eg Core Plugin. How to use ASTRewrite you can check here: https://github.com/pdt-eg/Core-Plugin/blob/master/org.pdtextensions.core.ui/src/org/pdtextensions/core/ui/contentassist/AssignToLocalCompletionProposal.java -- Dawid Pakuła +48 795 996 064 From: Marek Maksimczyk Marek Maksimczyk Reply: PDT Developers pdt-dev@eclipse.org Date: 20 grudnia 2013 at 19:42:06 To: PDT Developers pdt-dev@eclipse.org Subject: Re: [pdt-dev] Two AST models and parsers On 15.11.2013 23:26, Dawid Pakuła wrote: > One of JDT AST models contains also logic for FlowAnalysis. > > At first look PDT ASTs works like in JDT, but… Older (JDT like) AST contains > binding resolver, which using compiler AST and > sometimes whole DLTK TI framework. > Older AST (JDT like) is mostly used directly in UI with many utils, functions > and widget ported from JDT (many of them still > contains java/jdt keyword in comments and strings).

I would like to refactor class/interface wizard (creating code based on AST models).
