[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] Re: IMethodBinding#overrides() returns false wh

[Sebastian Schmidt <sebastiangschmidt@xxxxxx>]

Hi Olivier,

Thanks for the clarification. I thought so myself but since there is 
nothing like that mentioned in the java doc I hoped it would work 
nontheless.

I actually have tried the method you propose, but run into several problems.
Hopefully you can aid me a little bit further?

First of all, it is documented, that only batches of units from the same 
project can be processed. I am working on a rather large application and 
it is likely to happen, that an implementing class is placed in another 
project as the abstract superclass is.

Do I have to conclude, that I have no possibility to use the bindings to 
check if a method overrides another one in such cases since I cannot 
create the ASTs in a batch?

And second I am not sure what to input as second parameter.
Do I have to insert every binding key I want to have resolved?

Because I simply want all bindings to be resolved.
When running this method with an empty String[] I later got a null 
result from a methodDeclaration.resolveBinding() invokation, so I assume 
that several bindings were not resolved during the AST creation. When 
Creating the ASTs with multiple parser runs, these bindings are all 
present (but not compatible regarding the override() method ;o(( ).

Could you tell me, what i have to input there?


Thank you so far and best regards
Sebastian
