> On some days I'm wondering if I should just drop everything Java-related as it's such a pain in the ass.
Hope it's tongue-in-cheek ;p especially as I'm set out to solve https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl/issues/64 (see the last post)
As a semi-related idea, if javadocs in particular are a PITA, one could indeed drop them, as they are strictly a subset of java sources. I see Orchard already does some Java source parsing.
There's the com.github.javaparser package as well which might be particuarly stable
@vemv Our parser is much simpler than GitHub's - we don't really need an AST for Java sources or something like this. Orchard's Java parser extracts only the data we need for the info functionality (source locations, JavaDoc, etc).
Yeah, that's true. The only downside would be the need for a third-party dep. Part of the reason we've opted for our simpler approach is to avoid having any deps in Orchard.
yeah a java dep doesn't sound mranderson-able :)
It actually handles those, but Orchard doesn't use mranderson, only cider-nrepl does. And the info functionality for Clojure, Java and ClojureScript happens to live in Orchard currently.
(and it's the thing that got broken by some changes in Java 15)
for clarity, I was talking about https://javaparser.org/ which artifact, oddly enough is prefixed com.github
what I had in mind is - you don't need javadoc if one does a simple parsing of a single source file. you get exactly the same info a javadoc would give you, right?
