improve the error handling. As Java has a ton of edge cases, it would be great if you would use it to parse your systems and report possible errors. We would then manufacture test cases out of those.
I'll definitely give it a try. Because the number of people who'll try this out will be limited, to be sure that there aren't any bugs in this parser I suggest that we let it parse all java github projects. Then we could group the resulting errors (if there exists any ;-)) per error type, write tests for these edge cases and then fix them. If all of the java git hub projects can per parsed without errors then we could be really sure this parser can is at least to parse the edge cases without exceptions. For sure, we don't know if the result makes sense but at least it produces a result.
Getting the download url for all java github projects is very easy:
https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:JavaFurther optional parameters for this url for paging: {&page,per_page,sort,order}. Documentation for this request: https://developer.github.com/v3/search/#search-repositories
How do you think about it?
Indeed, I had a plan to look at multiple projects, although I did not think about all projects :).
One thing we need to take into account is also the presence of libraries. When we do not have external libraries, the logic of importing is different than when we have them. Yet, most errors are likely to occur when the external libraries are missing because this is when you have only partial information.
It would be cool to try both variations. If we have a maven project or something similar, we can automate the download of dependencies.
Would you like to help in that direction?
Cheers, Doru
