hi i am a xml noob
i came acrross an application the would convert java source code into its xml representation ..
this may sound silly since i'm a noob .
what could be the possible uses of such an application
one of the use i could thin of was as an intermediate representation for cross
compiling java to another language can this be done
what could be the other applications of such a tool :roll:

I could imagine someone thinking about generating some sort of an Abstract Syntax Tree in XML which would allow using XSLT and other XML-based transformation technologies to modify the source code or something like that.

A bit far-fetched but still...
