Eclipse JDT vs. XDoclet's XJavaDoc Rather than pulling an all nighter like I have been the last couple of weekends, I decided to go to bed at a reasonable hour and get up early instead. So here I am, woke up at 4:30 and I get to work all damn day today. Should be a blast... While I'm up, here's an interesting post from the xdoclet-devel mailing list:

XJavaDoc is pretty mature by now. -But so is Eclipse. One of the Eclipse modules, JDT, is an engine similar to XJavaDoc. It can be used outside the Eclipse IDE.

The nice thing about JDT is that it has diff/merge support too (I haven't verified this, but Erich Gamma said told me it has that). That would make it possible to edit generated sources and not lose them.

What do you think about evaluating JDT for XDoclet 2?

Also, take a look at the Hibernator source:

Hibernator uses Eclipse's java parser, is fairly small, and is therefore an excellent source of inspiration if we want to investigate this path further for XDoclet 2.

Emphasis added by me to indicate my favorite part. Posted in Java at Jan 11 2003, 05:17:06 AM MST Add a Comment
