Find the first ancestor of a type?

[PELock]

I'm trying to find the first instance of ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration for the nested Java class methods, right now I use

 Optional<ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration> topNode = nestedMethodNode.findAncestor(ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration.class);

But it works only for the nearest ancestor.

What is the proper way of finding the top most class declaration of the nested method (multilevel)?

You can call findAncestor recursively until you no longer find the declaration you're looking for.

I am closing this issue because we have given an answer and there is no further interaction on this subject.
