Hi Raja, Sorry I didn't understand originally that you wanted source transformation, though I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say that bytecode transformation wouldn't work for your context. As for the debug/source argument I would say that debugging Java 3 bytecode with Java 5 source should be perfectly feasible and arguably better than debugging Java 3 source as the annotations and generics may at least give some clue about intent. However...
If you wish to work with source you may find these projects interesting [1]. I have personal experience with the JBoss Forge java-parser project and it can probably be made to do what you want, although it won't be the most trivial of tasks. I have no idea about the antlrjavaparser project, but since it was also released relatively recently there's no harm in your looking there if you like.
