[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ROASTER-26) Can't add comment in the method body

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ROASTER-26?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Jeremie Bresson commented on ROASTER-26: ---------------------------------------- If you do: {code:java} String stub = "public class Stub {\n //a comment\n public String method() {\n //a comment \n return \"Hello World!\"; \n } }"; JavaClassSource javaClassSource = Roaster.parse(JavaClassSource.class, stub); System.out.println(javaClassSource.toString()); {code} The comments are present... My investigations show that the comment are not directly part of the AST. You can get them in the CompilationUnit: {code:java} unit.getCommentList(); {code} And for each node: {code:java} unit.firstLeadingCommentIndex(ASTNode); unit.lastTrailingCommentIndex(ASTNode); {code} In the setBody() use-case (code snippet in the issue), the comment are lost when the AST is copied (in org.jboss.forge.roaster.model.impl.MethodImpl.setBody(String)): {code:java} block = (Block) ASTNode.copySubtree(method.getAST(), block); method.setBody(block); {code} I am not sure how this should be handled. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
