Description

Let's say you add a source to a CompilationUnit (unit):

Test.java

class Test {
     int plusOne(int value) {
          int one = 1;
          return value + one;
     }
}

and call unit.compile() and then run:

Sample code using groovyc

unit.iterator().forEachRemaining(sourceUnit ->
    sourceUnit.getAST().getClasses().forEach(clazz ->
        clazz.getAllDeclaredMethods().forEach(method -> 
            System.out.print(method.getVariableScope()
                .getDeclaredVariables().values())  
        )
    )
);

The only declared variable you get for method plusOne is the parameter value. The local variable one is not accessible.

Is there another way of accessing these locally declared variables?
