Regular expression support for tags
-----------------------------------
Key: MTAGLIST-22
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTAGLIST-22
Project: Maven 2.x Taglist Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.1
Reporter: Joerg Schaible
Background: Modern IDEs offer code templates for new files or new methods. Also
some code formatters add automatically template-based javadoc comments.
Typically such templates use tags as placeholders for the real description
which are located at the end of the line. Enhancing the standard tag detection
to support EOL tags might trigger too many false positives, especially if the
tag comment has to be extracted too.
Therefore this proposal is about the support of an extension to the
configuration to support tags defined as regular expression:
{code:xml}
<regexpTags>
<regexpTag>\\* (.*)DOCUMENT_ME$<regexpTag>
<regexpTags>
{code}
The algorithm should match the regexp against each line. The first match of the
line is the hit and the first group defines the text of the tag. In this
situation you will avoid false positives for the standard tags and users like
me can define advanced search patterns.
Background of this issue are the comments at TAGLIST-17, see the attachment
there for code with such tags.
