Aslak, I'm +1 on it. I did some investigations after we had some talks about qdox+xjavadoc and my conclusion was that I like the API. The JDT interfaces are well-designed, the implementation is too much sophisticated but who cares. I think JDT shouldn't be as fast as qdox for sure because qdox doesn't create an AST, it can be faster than xjavadoc. An AST-based system is what we need for the type of problems we're trying to solve, code generation from different source I mean.
I think the first thing we should do is simply get the latest JDT jar and try to simply parse a sample source code file and see how it feels. I'm willing to get xdoclet2 rolling, let's arrange a pair programming section and start testing JDT :-) Ara. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:xdoclet-devel- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Aslak Helles�y > Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 4:49 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Xdoclet-devel] Eclipse JDT vs XJavaDoc > > XJavaDoc is pretty mature by now. -But so is Eclipse.
