@Deprecated public final class SharedASTProvider extends Object
Deprecated.UseSharedASTProviderCoreinstead.TheSharedASTProviderprovides access to theAST rootused by the current active Java editor.For performance reasons, not more than one AST should be kept in memory at a time. Therefore, clients must not keep any references to the shared AST or its nodes or bindings.
Clients can make the following assumptions about the AST:
- the AST has a
ITypeRootas source:CompilationUnit.getTypeRoot()is not null. - the
AST API levelisAPI level 14or higher - the AST has bindings resolved (
AST.hasResolvedBindings()) statementandbindingsrecovery are enabled
It is possible that in the future a higher API level is used, or that future options will be enabled.
The returned AST is shared. It is marked as
ASTNode.PROTECTand must not be modified. Clients are advised to use the non-modifyingASTRewriteto get update scripts.This class is not intended to be subclassed or instantiated by clients.

- This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.

getAST
public static CompilationUnit getAST(ITypeRoot element, SharedASTProvider.WAIT_FLAG waitFlag, IProgressMonitor progressMonitor)
Deprecated.Returns a compilation unit AST for the given Java element. If the element is the input of the active Java editor, the AST is the shared AST.Clients are not allowed to modify the AST and must not keep any references.
- Parameters:

- the AST or
null.- If
WAIT_NOhas been specifiednullis returned if the element is not input of the current Java editor or no AST is available - If
WAIT_ACTIVE_ONLYhas been specifiednullis returned if the element is not input of the current Java editor - If
WAIT_YEShas been specified either the shared AST is returned or a new AST is created. nullwill be returned if the operation gets canceled.
