What do you mean by "compiled java type" ? Something like java.lang.String
because it's in the rt.jar and you don't have the sources ? Because most of
the visitors "visit our code" (i.e. the code in the project we are
generating to with Forge). So that would mean that most of the visistors
should then use JavaSource ?
And in terms of performance, is there a difference ? Is it "faster" to
parse source code rather then byte code ?
