If you’re interested in metadata-driven
development, you may find the work on JSR 175 metadata analysis and code generation
interfaces (“APT”) useful as well, and it would require less
invasive JDT work to get started.

Subject: [jdt-core-dev] getting
started
My research group is interested in adding hooks to the JDT
compiler to allow comment parsers to influence the creation of the AST and
to allow later compiler stages to modify the AST before code
generation. We think we have determined the few places in the code that
changes are needed to accomplish this.
Our question is where to start: The source code for
all of Eclipse is available, and the Ant-driven build procedure takes about
half an hour. That doesn't seem to be what we should be using.
What is the standard way of doing development on the JDT?
Is there a procedure that will build just the JDT core?
Is there documentation for those new to JDT development? I have
searched but have so far been unsuccessful.
Thanks in advance for your help,
