Re: [eclipsefp-develop] JParser plugin & halamo package

[Thomas t. C. <tte...@gm...>]

Wasn't the AST also used for the code browsing features -- list of
functions and such? I never really use those, so I'm not entirely
sure, and I can't access the source at the moment.

But even if this is the case, that task could be done through Scion
with much less code.
