ASTNodes And Views

Question

Hello guys

I would like to know if there is a function that when i give it an ASTNode object (the ASTNode can be a class, method or a field in a CompilationUnit) as an argument it can show this object in a view (Tree view or Table view). If there isn't any such function, is there another way or workaround of doing it?

Thanks for your help.

You may be able to use the ASTView plugin

It's not clear if you are referring to Java or just something else. I'm assuming you need a Java tool. I'm not sure what exactly you expect to see in the "view".

Do check out nWire. It may be what you are looking for. Given any component in your code (like Class, field, etc.) it can show all possible associations to other components.
