That is for my plugin. Ican already parse the Java code into XML andnow
I need to transform this XML code in a CodeModel structure.
I don't plan to force people to program using XML. Rather, I want to let
them program in the usual way and afterward convert it to XML, add Jelly
tags (for pre-processing like the #ifdef in C) and use that result to
generate code.
The problem at the moment is that in my parser I cannot know if the
meaning of a qualified "thing" refers to aclass or a variable.
I need somebody for that and I don't want that.
I will dig into the Javac code to see how it is done.
Another concern: It is possible that in the "XML code", I try to refer
to a class not yet generated and thus not yet known to the model.
Does it exist a solution ? (I think to Outline)
