[jira] [Created] (JEXL-379) Allow new to use class identifier

Henri Biestro created JEXL-379:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Allow new to use class identifier
                 Key: JEXL-379
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JEXL-379
             Project: Commons JEXL
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2.1
            Reporter: Henri Biestro
            Assignee: Henri Biestro
             Fix For: 3.3


WHAT:
The Java syntax for new is easier/nicer to use than the current JEXL one that forces to use a fully qualified class name (FQCN) to instantiate an object. The improvement will allow using the Java new syntax using either an FQCN (as identifier) or just an identifier.
HOW:
The grammar is augmented to allow the 'new qualified_class_name(<args>)' syntax. Provision is to be made to allow an 'import'-like mechanism so class identifiers can be resolved (JexlContext extension).
