We have -fobjc-rewrite which takes AST representation of objective-c program and translates into c++ code. Look at RewriteObjC.cpp file.

I am new to Clang, but from what I have learned so far, the best approach might be to have Clang export the AST in XML format (clang  -cc1 -ast-print-xml foo.c) and have the Java program read in this XML.  This will also require re-implementing many of the Clang AST classes in Java.     I was wondering if some of you experienced Clangsters can give me some advice...
