[Moose-dev] Re: Java exporter

Hi Johan, Sure there is plenty of interest for any parser :). In fact, we had several Eclipse plugins as Moose exporters: - http://www.moosetechnology.org/tools/retired/moosebrewer - http://www.moosetechnology.org/tools/retired/j2moose - http://www.moosetechnology.org/tools/retired/jfamix Alex also worked on a Java parser written in VW: http://www.moosetechnology.org/tools/retired/java4moose Yet another solution was based on JavaConnect/Penumbra: http://www.moosetechnology.org/docs/others/importWithPenumbraInVW Unfortunately, none of these are maintained anymore. In general, the problem with parsers is that they are tedious to maintain for complicated languages, because many problems appear in very specific contexts. So, we need solutions that have support behind, and inFusion is great because it has it, and I maintain the exporter to make sure it is working with the latest Moose. But, as I said, there is always more interest in getting more importers around Moose, and it would be great if someone would be willing to invest longer term effort into :).
