I am working with the AST API in java, and I am trying to create a Compilation Unit with type bindings. I wrote the following code:

private static CompilationUnit parse(ICompilationUnit unit) {
 ASTParser parser = ASTParser.newParser(AST.JLS3);
 parser.setKind(ASTParser.K_COMPILATION_UNIT);
 parser.setSource(unit);
 parser.setResolveBindings(true);
 CompilationUnit compiUnit = (CompilationUnit) parser.createAST(null);
 return compiUnit;
}

Unfortunately, when I run this code in debug mode and inspect compiUnit I find that compiUnit.resolver.isRecoveringBindings is false.
Can anyone think of a reason why it wouldn't be true, as I specified it to be?
Thank you
