- After the parser is done building a first rendition of the AST. (Usually lightweight and missing method bodies etc)
- After the parser is done taking such a lightweight AST and filling in the gaps.
Lombok then builts its own bidirectional and somewhat saner AST out of this, and hands this saner AST off for treatment. Things in the AST can be marked as 'handled'.
This seems to work swimmingly and should allow us to easily identify the annotations that are for us, and work our magic, no matter where they appear or on what, including
stuff inside method bodies.
- Split off the actual agent work into a separate src package in preparation for creating separate jars. Involved a lot of renaming
- Renamed TransformCompilationUnitDeclaration to TransformEclipseAST, as this class will also be transforming e.g. MethodDeclaration objects.
- Expanded the patching to also patch in transform calls when the parser fills in the Statement array for existing constructors, methods, and initializers.
- Redesigned the ClassLoaderWorkaround class quite a bit.
- Positioning should not work correctly ('jump to method' should jump to the getter annotation).
(Apparently, Clinit objects are always fully parsed in the original run, so no need to patch anything there).
