[Moose-dev] Re: VerveineJ v. 1.0 released

For the comparison with infusion, one point is that I could never get infusion to work properly (or at all) for me :-( So this limits my ability to compare them. :-) I understand that infusion has well known limitations. The point of verveine is that the code is there for anyone to overcome the limitations that hurt him/her most. So as steph said: you have access to the code. I don't know either how old/recent is the last version of infusion? Does it support Java 1.6, for example ? Actually verveineJ does not :-) Well, in the sense that it does not output anything particular for parameterized types for example. But it parses java 1.6 without problem and the information is available in the AST. If someone needs it, s/he just needs to figure out how to fit this in the meta model and write the piece of code that will create the proper Famix Entities. As for the resources, I plan to use it in the short to medium term. So I will be maintaining it in the near future as well as my limited time allows. After, it will depend on people. If nobody feels the need to maintain it it will be because it is not needed. Which can be happen because Moose is no longer in use or because java became irrelevant :-) One strength is that it uses JDT, so the parser itself is maintained by another entity which does have more resources than us. VerveineJ in itself "just" visit the AST produced by the JDT parser ... But try it and see for yourself. Tell us what you think I tried to document thoroughly the source code so that it would be easier to get in ... nicolas On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 9:02 PM, Johan Fabry <jfabry(a)dcc.uchile.cl> wrote: -- Nicolas Anquetil        Univ.
