https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/jdk/api/javac/tree/com/sun/source/ut il/Trees.html#getElement(com.sun.source.util.TreePath)

On what kind of object ?

if (!roundEnv.processingOver()) { Set<? extends Element> elements = roundEnv.getRootElements(); for (Element element : elements) { if (element.getKind() == ElementKind.CLASS) { JCTree tree = (JCTree) trees.getTree(element).accept(new LocalDateUtilDate(), null); }

            System.out.println(element);
        }
    }

I haven't met any "TreePath" as yet.

Try to call https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/jdk/api/javac/tree/com/sun/source/ut il/Trees.html#getElement(com.sun.source.util.TreePath) This should trigger attribution of the tree and give you the 'symbol' associated with the constructor. From there you can access the symbol signature using https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/lang/model/element/Eleme nt.html#asType() And downcasting to this: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/lang/model/type/Executable Type.html If this works, good, otherwise the solution would be more cumbersome - and it will involve setting up a task listener. But try this first. Maurizio
