Hi,
Will(does) AST handle code formatting, taking into account the user's
coding style preferences?
Will current refactorings (like generate getters and setters) be ported
to use AST instead of plain string concatenation?

fyi,
'generate getters and setters' is not implemented as a refactoring

yes, use ASTRewrite and your prefs should be respected. if not, enter a
bug report.

Yeah, I should have said code manipulation instead of refactorings.
Thanks for the pointer to ASTRewrite.
So, is the new AST designed to handle all code manipulation? Or will
there sill be a need for plain-text code assembly?

I have been doing some custom refactorings myself in my plug-in and i
work exclusively with ASTs. It is so much easier IMO.

However there is an issue. You can't "Edit-->Undo" a whole refactoring
with AST. You only Undo AST modifications. So if you do 10 AST
modifications for a refactoring, you will have to do "Edit-->Undo" 10
times to completely undo the refactoring/structure modification.

Ok, that's good news. Can you point me to an example of AST code
manipulation? I am currently struggling to find an IDocument instance to
apply the changes generated by ASTRewriter... But maybe there is another
way?
Thanks
Guillaume

Hi Gui

I have been told to do that

import org.eclipse.jface.text.Document;
....
IDocument idoc= new Document(icu.getSource());

where icu is an ICompilationUnit.

--------------

Otherwise you can get an IDocument from the active EditorPart

AbstractTextEditor ate = (AbstractTextEditor) _part;
FileEditorInput fe = (FileEditorInput) _part.getEditorInput();
IDocument idoc = ate.getDocumentProvider().getDocument(fe);

But that only works for me when inside the Java Editor (ie _part is not
null)
