Parser for java Class
Hi!
I want to extract this information from a java file:
1- Name of class and its fields variables
2- Name of methods and its parameters
3- List of local variables in a method
etc.
I know there is a general purpose library named ANTLR that is used for the parsing stuff, but it is too coarse and low level parser? Do you have any idea of a library ( may be wrapper ANTLR ) that helps me to extract the above mentioned information from a java file.
Thanks,
Regards

Re: Parser for java Class
The default Java runtime is able to parse through compiled classes via reflection. Link: Trail: The Reflection API (The Java™ Tutorials). Hopefully that's what you're looking for, though. You cannot pull out local variables using this method (not sure about private/protected variables/methods, either).
