Finds the corresponding AST node in the given compilation unit from which the given binding originated. Returns null if the binding does not correspond to any node in this compilation unit. This method always returns null if bindings were not requested when this AST was built.

The following table indicates the expected node type for the various different kinds of bindings:

  • package - a PackageDeclaration
  • class or interface - a TypeDeclaration or a AnonymousClassDeclaration (for anonymous classes)
  • primitive type - none
  • array type - none
  • field - a VariableDeclarationFragment in a FieldDeclaration
  • local variable - a SingleVariableDeclaration, or a VariableDeclarationFragment in a VariableDeclarationStatement or VariableDeclarationExpression
  • method - a MethodDeclaration
  • constructor - a MethodDeclaration
  • annotation type - an AnnotationTypeDeclaration
  • annotation type member - an AnnotationTypeMemberDeclaration
  • enum type - an EnumDeclaration
  • enum constant - an EnumConstantDeclaration
  • type variable - a TypeParameter
  • capture binding - none
  • annotation binding - an Annotation
  • member value pair binding - an MemberValuePair, or null if it represents a default value or a single member value

For parameterized or raw type bindings, the declaring node is that of the corresponding generic type. And for parameterized or raw method bindings, the declaring node is that of the corresponding generic method.

Each call to ASTParser.createAST(IProgressMonitor) with a request for bindings gives rise to separate universe of binding objects. This method always returns null when the binding object comes from a different AST. Use findDeclaringNode(binding.getKey()) when the binding comes from a different AST.

Returns a list of the comments encountered while parsing this compilation unit.

Since the Java language allows comments to appear most anywhere in the source text, it is problematic to locate comments in relation to the structure of an AST. The one exception is doc comments which, by convention, immediately precede type, field, and method declarations; these comments are located in the AST by BodyDeclaration.getJavadoc. Other comments do not show up in the AST. The table of comments is provided for clients that need to find the source ranges of all comments in the original source string. It includes entries for comments of all kinds (line, block, and doc), arranged in order of increasing source position.

Note on comment parenting: The getParent() of a doc comment associated with a body declaration is the body declaration node; for these comment nodes getRoot() will return the compilation unit (assuming an unmodified AST) reflecting the fact that these nodes are property located in the AST for the compilation unit. However, for other comment nodes, getParent() will return null, and getRoot() will return the comment node itself, indicating that these comment nodes are not directly connected to the AST for the compilation unit. The Comment.getAlternateRoot method provides a way to navigate from a comment to its compilation unit.

A note on visitors: The only comment nodes that will be visited when visiting a compilation unit are the doc comments parented by body declarations. To visit all comments in normal reading order, iterate over the comment table and call accept on each element.

Clients cannot modify the resulting list.

Enables the recording of changes to this compilation unit and its descendants. The compilation unit must have been created by ASTParser and still be in its original state. Once recording is on, arbitrary changes to the subtree rooted at this compilation unit are recorded internally. Once the modification has been completed, call rewrite(IDocument, Map) to get an object representing the corresponding edits to the original source code string.

Note that this way of manipulating an AST only allows a single line of modifications, and it lacks important functionality like string placeholders and support for copying nodes including comments and formatting.

To future-proof your code, consider using an external ASTRewrite instead, which doesn't suffer from these limitations and allows to modify an AST in a non-destructive way.

Throws:
  • IllegalArgumentException – if this compilation unit is marked as unmodifiable, or if this compilation unit has already been tampered with, or recording has already been enabled

Converts all modifications recorded for this compilation unit into an object representing the corresponding text edits to the given document containing the original source code for this compilation unit.

The compilation unit must have been created by ASTParser from the source code string in the given document, and recording must have been turned on with a prior call to recordModifications() while the AST was still in its original state.

Calling this methods does not discard the modifications on record. Subsequence modifications made to the AST are added to the ones already on record. If this method is called again later, the resulting text edit object will accurately reflect the net cumulative effect of all those changes.

  • document – original document containing source code for this compilation unit
