Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4335:
-------------------------------------
I'm not an expert either: I could be wrong about how it works.
But still I think we can make progress, excluding things like this from
'regenerate'
and just try to have regenerate "regenerate as much as possible", hooking
this into the nightly build or something like that.

> We have more and more sources that are generated programmatically (query
> parsers, fuzzy levN tables from Moman, packed ints specialized decoders,
> etc.), and it's dangerous because developers may directly edit the generated
> sources and forget to edit the meta-source. It's happened to me several
> times ... most recently just after landing the BlockPostingsFormat branch.
> I think we should re-gen all of these in our builds and fail the build if
> this creates a difference. I know some generators (eg JavaCC) embed
> timestamps and so always create mods ... we can leave them out of this for
> starters (or maybe post-process the sources to remove the timestamps) ...
