as far as I understand now Python trunk contains some generated AST
representation C code created through the asdl_c.py script from an 
updated Python.asdl, these files live in

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/python/python/dist/src/Parser/

a parallel asdl_java.py existed in Python CVS sandbox (where the
AST effort started) and was updated the last time the Jython
own AST classes were generated with at the time version of Python.asdl
(this was done by me if I remember correctly at some point in Jython
2.2 evolution, I think when the PyDev guys wanted a more up-to-date
Jython parser to reuse):

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/python/python/nondist/sandbox/ast/asdl_java.py?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.7

basically the new Python.asdl needs to be used, the asdl_java.py
maybe updated and our compiler changed as necessary.
