Description

Groovy Console's AST Browser should allow you to view a source code view of AST.
A screenshot is here: http://hackergarten.net/decompiler.png

The output is the source of the AST. AST Transformations rewrite AST and it is helpful to be able to see what the generated source might look like. The source is not a canonical representation of the AST and is not used by the compiler. It is for informational purposes.

The checkboxes for FreeForm and ClassView work for the output, as does the compile phase drop down.
