------------------------------------
Hi
For your information, I'm working on a PR based on branch 1.8 and java 6. I'll
first submit one with isUnion and isNullable (or isOptional, since I'm not sure
of the name).
It's taking a bit longer that I would hope for various reasons, I hope you
don't mind it, if so let me know.
@[~Yibing] indeed the specs about default value says :
default: A default value for this field, used when reading instances that lack
this field (optional). Permitted values depend on the field's schema type,
according to the table below. Default values for union fields correspond to the
first schema in the union.
I'm thinking of testing the content of the generated file directly (generating
the .java, accessing it through a File, then parsing it for expected content),
so no need for Java 8.
@[~nielsbasjes] in the code I'm writing I don't include anything needing Java 8
(so it could make it in the 1.8 branch I hope).
:)
