Hi,
I'm beginning to play with the Psi and I would like to know what
informations
the following methods return:

- com.intellij.psi.PsiElement.isPhysical();

Generally returns true if PsiElement has a document associated with it,
false otherwise.

You obtain non-physical PsiElements when you create them from
PsiElementFactory, for example.

- com.intellij.psi.PsiElement.isValid();

PsiElements can get invalidated - that is, they no longer belong to
any source code tree. This may happen, for example, after file is reparsed.

- com.intellij.psi.PsiElement.isWritable();

Checks whether rthsi PsiElement can be modified by add/delete/replace
methods.


Hope this helps,
Friendly,

Yes, it really helps, thanks! :o)

Now, I'm trying to "match" some Java code to propose replacements
(Intentions).

The problem is that I'm using - I think - the old way - the one I was using
in an other
application:

If I want to match the following expression statement "a = a + 1", then I'm
using the following code,
(see attachment). The problem is that the "instanceof way" don't seem to be
the right way
(for a number of reasons not explained here).

So, could anyone explain me the good way to match such statement?

Thanks you in advance,
Loïc
