[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] AST and Java Model relation

["Aker" <aker1121@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi JDT tool group,

I have just been given an assigment to extend  JDT for a customer. A truly 
great job.

I have found some very good articels (and postings on this newsgroup) etc, 
but I'm still a bit confused about the relation
between the AST and the Java Model. As I understand it the AST is the result 
of parsing a CompilationUnit
(e.g. class), but at the same time the Java Model is involved somewhere and 
I think perhaps the Model keeps all
the symbols for the entire project and holds references to several AST (per 
class involved in project). But I'm not sure.

Can someone explain this to me a bit more?

Any hint or help appreciated!!
