As Rich says, it sounds like using JDT (either the AST or the Java Model, 
depending on the amount of detail you need) is the right answer.  "Create a 
model of a class from a Java file and get every field, method, etc." is 
precisely what the JDT does.

But I am still confused about why you're asking this question here in 
eclipse.platform when you also have an ongoing discussion about what seems 
to be the same topic in eclipse.tools.jdt.
