I’m building a very simple Java parser, to look for some specific usage models. This is in no way lex/yacc or any other form of interpreter/compiler for puposes of running the code.
When I encounter a word or a set of two words separated by a dot (“word.word”), I would like to know if that’s a standard Java class (and method), e.g. “Integer”, or some user defined name. I’m not interested in whether the proper classes were included/imported in the code (i.e. if the code compiles well), and the extreme cases of user defined classes that override the names of standard Java classes also does not interest me. In other words: I’m okay with false negative, I’m only interesting in being “mostly” right.
If there a place wher I could find a simple list of all the names of all Java standard classes and methods, in the form easily saved into a text file or database? (J2SE is okay, but J2EE is better). I’m familiar with http://java.sun.com/j2se/ etc, but it seems I need a terrible amount of manual work to extract all the names from there. Also, the most recent JDK is not neccesary, I can live with 1.4 or 1.5.
Clarification: I’m not working in Java but in Python, so I can’t use Java-specific commands in my parsing mechanism.
Thanks
What’s wrong with the javadoc? The index lists all classes, methods, and static variables. You can probably grep for parenthesis.
