I happened to notice the following message in an ant test today:
compile-test:
[echo] Building analyzers-common...
jflex-uptodate-check:
jflex-notice:
[echo] One or more of the JFlex .jflex files is newer than its
corresponding
[echo] .java file. Run the "jflex" target to regenerate the
artifacts.
It is a spurious warning/directive because HTMLCharacterEntities.jflex doesn’t
have a matching .java file since it is a “macro” referenced by
HTMLStripCharFilter.jflex.
I am wondering if it makes sense to rename HTMLCharacterEntities.jflex to
HTMLCharacterEntities.jflex-macro (like
HTMLStripCharFilter.SUPPLEMENTARY.jflex-macro) to avoid the misleading build
warning/directive.
