Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4335:
-------------------------------------
Cool, i think it would be convenient for the long term: in the short
term I think we can still try to make some progress here towards something
along the lines of an 'ant regenerate'.
I am thinking the easiest way is to just add a 'regenerate' task to
common-build.xml that is a no-op by default, and then each module can do
what it needs to do?
Then we would just call it across the build.
I think we should try to regenerate as much as possible (data too) when
we do this: e.g. kuromoji would call 'build-dict', icu module would
regenerate its stuff, and so on.

> We have more and more sources that are generated programmatically (query
> parsers, fuzzy levN tables from Moman, packed ints specialized decoders,
> etc.), and it's dangerous because developers may directly edit the generated
> sources and forget to edit the meta-source. It's happened to me several
> times ... most recently just after landing the BlockPostingsFormat branch.
> I think we should re-gen all of these in our builds and fail the build if
> this creates a difference. I know some generators (eg JavaCC) embed
> timestamps and so always create mods ... we can leave them out of this for
> starters (or maybe post-process the sources to remove the timestamps) ...
