Paul King reassigned GROOVY-9036:
---------------------------------
Assignee: Paul King
> Groovydoc remedial modifications
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-9036
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-9036
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Epic
> Reporter: Paul King
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Major
>
> We are planning to alter groovydoc in groovy 3.0 to use the antlr4 parser for
> groovy and plug in an antlr4 java grammar to replace or existing one. (We
> have some alternative experiments in play to also look at using an
> alternative java parser, or running java stubs through normal javadoc and do
> some post-processing - but in all cases some remedial work is required for
> 2_5_X).
> This epic is to fix up a number of cases that currently exist in 3.0 (until
> we complete the aforementioned work) but will also remain for the 2_5_X
> stream even after that work is done.
> So basically, we will tweak the java grammar to understand some bits of Java
> 8+, e.g. try-with-resources, but in some cases we may not do enough work for
> java2groovy to also completely work in those cases (it is currently not in
> our plans to complete that work since we plan to focus on Groovy 3.0). The
> goal is for no cases which currently pass java2groovy parsing to become
> broken after the changes - but cases which currently fail may continue to
> fail but with a slightly different error - since parsing will be somewhat
> more complete in some cases.
