Build 2.1

Keep AST created in reconcile for active editor and make it accessible for the 
UI.

It is very likely that this AST wouldn't carry bindings in their 
current form, since these are holding on too much memory.

Comment 2 Martin Aeschlimann

As binding are essential, they should maybe be more 'on-demand ' in this case:
E.g keep the bindings as weak references and be able to regenerate them on demand.

Jerome,

Martin told me you are working on this. The best for us would be to get the AST
along with the reconcile process or get an API to ask for it. Can you outline
your solution and a date upon which we can expect it? Thanks.

It is in HEAD. See ICompilationUnit.reconcile(boolean, boolean, 
WorkingCopyOwner, IProgressMonitor). It will be available in next integration 
build (if we contribute, I don't know yet).

Added new API ICompilationUnit.reconcile(boolean createAST, boolean 
forceProblemDetection, WorkingCopyOwner owner, IProgressMonitor monitor) that 
returns a DOM CompilationUnit if asked to create the AST. See the Java doc for 
more details.

Added tests ASTConverterTest2.test0538a() to test0538e()
