[jdt-dev] ASTNode that corresponds to a IJavaElement

[Walid Maalej <maalejw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I need to implement a listener for addition of method calls in the  
java source code (e.g. adding a line like: myObject.toString(); ).
Since I was not able to find any listener Interface with similar  
behavior in the AST interfaces, I"m using IJavaChangeListener and  
checking every time if  a new ASTNode of  type MethodInvocation has  
been added to the CompilationUnit of the edited java class. This is  
quite inefficient. So my question is:
- Is there any standard why to listen to modifications of an ASTNode  
in particular CompilationUnits?
- If not: is it possible to get from the whole CompilationUnit only  
the subtree of a IMethod?

Thank you for you support
Walid
