There comes the magic of OO and Java:-)

1- You design a SymbolTable class, that probably uses a Hashtable object
to associate strings with declaration nodes.
2- You extend your preferred tree walker (probably DepthFirstAdapter),
and use a Stack field to push/pop SymbolTable objects as you enter/leave
a scope.

This is one way of doing it.
