public @Nullable Element findVariable(@ReadOnly String reference,
                             @Nullable TreePath path)

Finds the variable referenced in the passed String. This method may only operate on variable references, e.g. local variables, parameters, fields. The reference string may be either an single Java identifier (e.g. "field") or dot-separated identifiers (e.g. "Collections.EMPTY_LIST"). The method adheres to all the rules of Java's scoping (while also considering the imports) for name resolution.

Parameters:

reference - the variable reference string

path - the tree path to the local scope

Returns:

the variable reference
