Investigate.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Read JEP 542 and the referenced earlier avatar issue #5108 first. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so identify whether Eclipse JDT Core should support the proposed PEM API and document a concrete scope or follow-up; done means the investigation has produced an agreed implementation target.
