Hi Janko, To be honest, you are touching Java only by parsing it's code. Yes, it's shifted towards Java because there is a lot of Java code that is ready to be analyzed, but all work is done in Smalltalk. Moreover you have to keep model generic, and this means that you have to work also with a Smalltalk model and probably tweak it. This is a great opportunity for student to compare languages and indeed see how much simpler Smalltalk is. That's how I see it.
