Java 8 parser and Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). Therefore, lambda expressions, reference expressions, type annotations and default methods are supported.

The AST contains the source code structure, javadoc and comments. It also allows to parse Javadoc tags and the Java code links.

This parser is based on Sreenivasa Viswanadha's Java 1.5 parser.

The project was originally hosted at http://code.google.com/p/javaparser[javaparser] but seemed dead. This repository adds powerful parsing functionalities for http://www.walkmod.com[walkmod] such as AST merge support, AST dumping as the original format or Javadoc parsing.
