In fact, yes, as far as I can tell it is inefficient in the case of
method-calls, field-gets, etc. Although the AJRelationship.getSource()
method works fine (i.e., returns the caller), the
AJRelationship.getTarget() returns the method-call IAJCodeElement. This
what I would expect, however, there should be a method to get the caller
from that object.  Specifically, I am looking for a way to retrieve the
compile time target method available through an instance method of the
IAJCodeElement. After all, the caller is available through
IAJCodeElement.getParent(), why not have the callee as well? Thanks for
all the help again!!
