Hi all,

I am not sure the question is appropriate for compiler-dev but I would like to give it a try anyway.

I would like to detect when a certain class's constructor is used and log its usage along with filename and line number somewhere, such as a log file or standard output, I can't use an IDE to do that as I am working on a fairly large codebase and I need to automate the process, moreover it seems like an interesting problem to solve.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/tools/JavaCompiler.html

I was hoping that could help me but I haven't spot anything as yet, even though I must admit that my knowledge on the matter is limited.

Thanks, Pietro
