[antlr-interest] Reccomended method: actions or TreeAdaptor?

[Marc-André Laverdière]

Hello,

I guess you can tell by now that I'm a newbie to the world of 
programming languages/compilation.

My objective is to translate the raw AST into something that fits in a 
class diagram that represents my program logic, so that I can write some 
code interfacing with it and handling it.

I was discussing with a colleague who used yacc who told me that I 
should modify the AST using actions. Yet, the Wiki hints that the 
TreeAdaptor is the way to go now...

Some articles on the website (from Antlr2) talk about tree grammars as 
well, so I end up not knowing what's the best way to do what I have to do.

What are the options, the pros and the cons?

Thanks!
