I had the problem that I needed to get a new org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Type ast node that corresponds to a given org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ITypeBinding. Currently you have to code all of that stuff yourself. So it would be nice to have a helper method that aleady allows to get the corresponding Type ast node.

I'll attach the code I am currently using later on via "Add an Attachment".

Reproducible: Always

I think we should think of what helper methods we could provide as API.
For DOM/AST usage, users need to do the same thing over and over again. It would be good if we could come up with a list of utility methods that could be reused by all users of DOM API.

Markus, would you have any suggestions ?

In general, the mapping from ITypeBinding to a Type node can only be done correctly when imports are taken into account.

For this, there's already API, e.g.:
org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.rewrite.ImportRewrite#addImport(ITypeBinding, AST)
