		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.
