[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-795?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] George Gastaldi edited comment on FORGE-795 at 2/22/13 10:13 AM: ----------------------------------------------------------------- {quote} AST is a component of javacore, but javacore is more than AST. So, it would be more accurate to say: forge already uses a subset of JDT, the ast parser. Here is a short tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseJDT/article.html JavaCore's features seems to be a union of forge's source code features, and the class inspection features (either from reflection or javaassit), and JavaCore component has very close proximity to the eclipse AST parser already put to use by forge, and assuming the requirements of forge java plugin can be met by eclipse javacore, and, I think I read somewhere, there is prototype to integrate forge into eclipse, and also, the forge team is open to refactoring the forge java model. It is my opinion, that a more than a casual look into javacore, as either the implementation of, or a replacement to, the forge java model api, is reasonable. Here is the javacore project page: http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/core/index.php Here is the javacore api pages: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv/ref... {quote} was (Author: gastaldi): AST is a component of javacore, but javacore is more than AST.
