I agree that you should investigate using Falcon. think you'll find that the
classes making up Falcon's AST are reasonably intuitive and have good Javadoc
documentation.
If you get Falcon compiling in Eclipse and run a compile in Debug mode, you'll
see an indented tree-like representation of the AST whenever you inspect an AST
node instance.
