extract inner classes using eclipse JDT

i want to parse a project in which some classes have inner classes.how can i extract inner classes name other information using eclips JDT?

Solution

  • You can traverse through the Compilation unit of the Java class and visit the TypeDeclaration AST node. The below code can then be used to check if it is not a top-level class, i.e an inner class.

    public boolean visit(TypeDeclaration typeDeclarationStatement) {

    if (!typeDeclarationStatement.isPackageMemberTypeDeclaration()) {
            System.out.println(typeDeclarationStatement.getName());
            // Get more details from the type declaration.
    }

    return true;
}

    For getting anonymous inner classes use the below code too:

    public boolean visit(AnonymousClassDeclaration anonyomousClassDeclaration) {

    System.out.println(anonyomousClassDeclaration.toString());

    return true;
}
