Abstract base class of AST nodes that represent expressions.
There are several kinds of expressions.

FloatingPointLiteral (includes both float and double)
CharacterLiteral
NullLiteral
BooleanLiteral
StringLiteral
TypeLiteral
ThisExpression
SuperFieldAccess
FieldAccess
Assignment
ParenthesizedExpression
ClassInstanceCreation
ArrayCreation
ArrayInitializer
FunctionInvocation
SuperMethodInvocation
ArrayAccess
InfixExpression
InstanceofExpression
ConditionalExpression
PostfixExpression
PrefixExpression
CastExpression
VariableDeclarationExpression

Provisional API: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to
change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback
from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken
(repeatedly) as the API evolves.

<DL>
<DD>Resolves and returns the compile-time constant expression value as
specified in JLS2 15.28, if this expression has one. Constant expression
values are unavailable unless bindings are requested when the AST is
being built. If the type of the value is a primitive type, the result
is the boxed equivalent (i.e., int returned as an <code>Integer</code>);
if the type of the value is <code>String</code>, the result is the string
itself. If the expression does not have a compile-time constant expression
value, the result is <code>null</code>.
<p>
Resolving constant expressions takes into account the value of simple
and qualified names that refer to constant variables (JLS2 4.12.4).
</p>
<p>
Note 1: enum constants are not considered constant expressions.
The result is always <code>null</code> for these.
</p>
<p>
Note 2: Compile-time constant expressions cannot denote <code>null</code>.
So technically <A HREF="../../../../../../org/eclipse/wst/jsdt/core/dom/NullLiteral.html" title="class in org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.dom"><CODE>NullLiteral</CODE></A> nodes are not constant expressions.
The result is <code>null</code> for these nonetheless.
