Extract path-contexts iteratively about astminer

[vovak]

hi @ceceu,
Please note that it's going to be not just one path-context, but a collection, that represent a method. See the original paper on path-based representation of code for details.

To get the data you need, you can use astminer as a library and extract path-contexts for methods, and then combine those with the comments that you already have.
Please note that you would have to either wrap methods in classes to make the snippets valid Java code and then do a bit of filtering of resulting trees, or use a custom parser that can handle incomplete code. See #112.

Alternatively, you can add a custom task to the CLI that does all of the above, and then use it in your pipeline.

Hello @vovak,

Exactly, I need to parse Java code methods to a collection of path-context (cod2vec format).
What is the impact if I wrap each method in a respective class (n methods for n classes)?

Hello @ceceu! Wrapping each method in a stub-class seems to be the right approach.

I close it since there are no questions. But if you still have some, feel free to reopen.
