Short of guessing right all the time, you'll *have* to parse the
token stream to identify it's structure. :-) However, if you are
only concerned with Java, you might want to check out the Barat
framework:


        http://sourceforge.net/projects/barat


It provides a complete Java frontend that ends up with a tree
structure similar to the one you describe.


Several people in our research group have used Barat successfully,
although I hear that there can be a somewhat steep learning curve
to understand all it's fancy internals. :-)
