             Summary: Add support in the Java Parser to resolve JDT bindings
                 Key: FORGE-1028
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1028
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Parsers / File Manipulation
            Reporter: Vineet Reynolds


Eclipse JDT allows bindings to be resolved from an AST tree, provided that the compilation units are accessible. This allows for the bindings to be inspected at runtime. See the [setResolveBindings method|http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Forg%2Feclipse%2Fjdt%2Fcore%2Fdom%2FASTParser.html&anchor=setResolveBindings%28boolean%29] in the Eclipse ASTParser API.

We do not provide the ASTParser with an {{IProject}} nor do we configure the {{Environment}}, thus resulting in an inability to resolve the bindings. This should preferably be done with the sources of the project dependencies and the project sources, so that we can retrieve the type information in the JavaParser. This may also help in resolving FORGE-773, although it still requires the sources to be available.
