| The Abstract Syntax Tree is the base framework for many powerful |
| tools of the Eclipse IDE, including refactoring, Quick Fix and |
| Quick Assist. The Abstract Syntax Tree maps plain Java source |
| code in a tree form. This tree is more convenient and reliable |
| to analyse and modify programmatically than text-based source. |
| This article shows how you can use the Abstract Syntax Tree for |
| your own applications. |
