RE: [jdt-core-dev] Compiler patch

You can have a look at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-core-home/howto/generate%20parser/generateParser.html
as a starting point.

Please respond to
jdt-core-dev
OK!
I understand what you mean.
But it would be just a sample. We just would like to know how many
expenditure ist it to change the compiler, in case we'd modify or extend
the
langauge. So, however the precompiler approach is suitable for this case,
we'd like to change the compiler and see what it takes....

Be careful of Java licensing issues. It can't be called "Java" unless it
implements exactly the language as defined in the JLS. The mods that the
Eclipse compiler folks have implemented are ok (extra optional warnings,
etc), but adding new keywords or changing the structure/meaning of the
language isn't.
Also, in general, adding new keywords is dangerous, as old code may already
be using the word as an identifier. Not just source, but library code that
you don't have source to, which may make it impossible to call methods that
happen to have the same name as your keyword.
If you really need to do this, I'd recommend taking a precompiler approach,
where you would just create the equivalent Java language statements by
processing your modifier.
