Daffodil and Scala 2.12

[Nick Smith <ni...@finastra.com>]

Hello all,

Are there any plans to compile Daffodil against Scala 2.12? I have tried and get numerous errors of which many require minor fixes.

Many thanks in advance,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Daffodil does not currently support Scala 2.12, and is not currently on
the road map. Though, this is primarily because we just haven't had
demand for it as of yet. This is definitely something we want to do at
some point. If this is blocking usage of Daffodil (and is sounds like it
may be?) we can certainly look at bumping up its priority.

Also, if you have Scala development experience and would like to take a
stab at making the fixes yourself, we would be more than happy to give
guidance and lend a hand. As you pointed out, it probably is mostly just
a bunch of minor fixes. If there's interest, the Daffodil Code
Contributor Workflow [1] has all the necessary steps to get started
making contributions.

The bug to upgrade to Scala 2.12 is tracked as DAFFODIL-1652 [2].

Thanks!
- Steve
