What it does

Introduce a CompilationUnit.DOM_BASED_OPERATIONS flag which instead of using the ECJ-derived parser uses ASTParser to create a DOM and then uses the DOM to implement codeSelect

This has the benefit of:

  • Simplifying the code as an crawling DOM is usually simpler than dealing with lower-level parser
  • allowing other parsers as backend if ASTParser is configured for it

How to test

Set system property -DCompilationUnit.DOM_BASED_OPERATIONS=true and see codeSelect (hover, ctrl+click) working with ASTParser.
