[jira] [Commented] (OGNL-8) use javacc to generate AST* java sources

["Simone Tripodi (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OGNL-8?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13032295#comment-13032295 ] 

Simone Tripodi commented on OGNL-8:
-----------------------------------

Just one big reminder for who will take care of the issue: during OGNL evolution, generated JavaCC sources have been versioned in the SCM and *modified*.
That is wrong, because let's suppose grammar has bugs, once fixed and when re-generating the sources, they will be overridden, loosing latest modifications :(

The necessary steps are:

 * Plug the JavaCC Plugin for Maven [http://mojo.codehaus.org/javacc-maven-plugin/];
 * See which classes are generated (AST*.java classes and few more);
 * Understand which methods have been added in the versioned;
 * Merging all those methods inside the JavaCC grammar

I already tried this before OGNL joined the Incubator, but not being JavaCC expert I fixed that issue only partially, I missed the last point.

Feel free to ping me directly if any help is needed!
