Re: ANTLR

AIUI it's not possible to use the RFC ABNF directly but i know a friendly 
parser/generator expert who owes me a favour (or two). since ANTLR sounds good, 
i'll ask him to take a look... 

> SearchCommand: Modular Implementation...?

>                 Key: JAMES-714
>                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-714
>             Project: James
>          Issue Type: Task
>          Components: IMAPServer
>    Affects Versions: Trunk
>            Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin
>            Priority: Minor

> The Search command is a part of the IMAP specification that is yet to be 
> implemented in James. The wiring has already been outlined with 
> SearchCommandParser in SearchCommand returning a SearchTerm implementation. 
> All good so far.
> I need to implement a solution for a small number of search keys in order to 
> allow my IMAP server to be accessed by an Apple Mail.app client. (Not sure 
> when I'll find the time so opening a JIRA rather than discussing on list.)
> Implementing the complete Search command specification is likely to be time 
> consuming. However, the specification naturally breaks down into the 
> composite application of a number of search keys. So, it should be possible 
> to factor the design so that each search key implementation could be 
> implemented in isolation. This would allow a partial implementation of the 
> most commonly used search terms to be build up over time.
> Opinions?
