             Summary: Builds should regenerate all generated sources
                 Key: LUCENE-4335
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4335
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless


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) ...
