As mentioned already, CDT is perfect for this task. But unlike described above I used it from within a plugin and was able to use IFiles. Then everything is so mouch easier. To get the "ITranslationUnit" just do:

ITranslationUnit tu = (ITranslationUnit) CoreModel.getDefault().create(myIFile);
IASTTranslationUnit ias = tu.getAST();

I was i.e. looking for a special #define, so I could just:

ppc = ias.getAllPreprocessorStatements();

To get all the preprocessed code statements, each statement in array-element. Perfectly easy.
