Java Parser

Code can be touched by hand.

A DSL reads an order, and applies a transformation on the source code.

Synchronization between ANTLR parser and ST template:

A ST template for each rule.

Each node in the AST contains information about the ST to call.

It always has to contain enough information to be able to call the ST template.

Prototype:

A Java parser, that, for each rule, injects a ST template into the AST node.

The AST exports a method to serialize the code back to a Java source file.

PoC: automatically inject @SuppressWarnings(“unused”) annotations in methods.
