## [Groovy] Class AstNodeToScriptAdapter

- groovy.inspect.swingui.AstNodeToScriptAdapter

- This class takes Groovy source code, compiles it to a specific compile phase, and then decompiles it back to the groovy source. It is used by GroovyConsole's AST Browser, but can also be invoked from the command line.

    - #### String compileToScript(String script, int compilePhase, ClassLoader classLoader = null, boolean showScriptFreeForm = true, boolean showScriptClass = true)

      This method takes source code, compiles it, then reverses it back to source.

      returns:
        the source code from the AST state
      Parameters:
        `script` - the source code to be compiled. If invalid, a compile error occurs
        `compilePhase` - the CompilePhase. Must be an int mapped in CompilePhase
        `classLoader` - (optional) the classloader to use. If missing/null then the current is used. This parameter enables things like ASTBrowser to invoke this with the correct classpath
        `showScriptFreeForm` - Whether or not to show the script portion of the source code
        `showScriptClass` - Whether or not to show the Script class from the source code

    - #### static void main(def args)

      Run this class as a script to compile a groovy file and print out the resulting source.

      Parameters:
        `args` - a filename to compile and a CompilePhase to run to
