[jira] [Created] (GROOVY-8185) Change Groovydoc processing to get comments from AST

Paul King created GROOVY-8185:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Change Groovydoc processing to get comments from AST
                 Key: GROOVY-8185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8185
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: GroovyDoc
            Reporter: Paul King


The new Parrot parser (currently on the master branch) supports capturing comments within the AST. Groovydoc should be adapted to utilise that capability. Currently in {{SimpleGroovyClassDocAssembler#getJavaDocCommentsBeforeNode()}}, a crude regexp is used to extract the comment out from the source based on the relative position of a known AST node. Instead, with the new parser, we can simply extract it from the AST.
