gdesrosi opened a new pull request #246: Work in Progress Attempt to compile 
with scala 2.13.0
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-daffodil/pull/246
 
 
   This branch contains changes to enable cross compilation with scala 2.13.0, 
but currently has quiet a few compilation errors if attempted to cross compile 
with scala 2.13.0.
   Two major changes noted with the new version of scala is that:
   1) the returned type of every method must explicitly be declared else it 
produces a syntax error that’s including void methods. Currently there are 92 
compilations errors and almost if not half of them has to do with this new 
syntax requirements of void methods.
   2)  scala has a predefined Node class which has a child method which 
previously used to return a mutable seq of all the child of that particular 
node, but in scala 2.13.0 that returned type is now immutable which causes type 
mismatch in at least one instance so far so to get around “toSeq” function on 
the child call to turn that seq back to a mutable seq as it was in the previous 
version.
   Other changes noted with scala 2.13.0 include:
   a)   Deprecation of the any2Stringadd object predefinition as well as the 
implicit injection of the + sign. This now causes problem when adding a file 
name which is a string to a Path without calling the toString method on the 
path because it’s no longer implied now.
   b)   Stricter type checking when adding a character to a string you need to 
either use the Character.toString() method on the character or use string 
interpolation to add the two. In some instances, the string interpolation 
causes some issues when that value is passed to a regex and cause some 
illegalArgumentException.
