Question: Is there any way to convert Java source or AST into JavaPoet code?

[Seanghay Yath]

Or maybe AST -> JavaPoet.

I am doing a large codebase migration and I want minimize manual work.

I want to:

1. Java Source -> JavaPoet source
2. Modify JavaPoet source
3. JavaPoet source -> Java Source back

StackOverflow is overrated 😄

No. I recommend the Spoon library for this: https://spoon.gforge.inria.fr/

If you're feeling adventurous you could also use IntelliJ PSI which is what the IntelliJ IDEA editor uses to manipulate your code.

Thanks @JakeWharton!
