Hi all,
I've just started looking at CND. From the README.cnd:
----
From NetBeans 8.2 binary, copy file:
* cnd/modules/org-netbeans-modules-cnd-antlr.jar =>
cnd/libs.antlr.cnd/external
----
The "org-netbeans-modules-cnd-antlr" module [1] has not been donated,
and the proposed alternative is to make a dependency with the 8.2 binary.
I don't feel very comfortable adding a binary dependency (i.e., making
parts of CND depend on a binary which is not on our control, and whose
source can be gone with the wind), but on the other hand rebuilding the
module seems to be quite a big task.
Possible plans I can think of:
a) We add a dependency to this 8.2 binary and try to rebuild the
org-netbeans-modules-cnd-antlr module on the long term. This is unlikely
to happen, I think.
b) We rebuild the org-netbeans-modules-cnd-antlr on our own.
c) We refuse to maintain C/C++ parsers up-to-date and, now that we have
a LSP client, we integrate with clangd [3] and move the responsibility
of parsing C/C++/Objective-C/Fortran? out to the clang-llvm team.
d) Any other reasonable alternative you can think of.
I'm still trying to understand the importance of this module (any help
appreciated). It seems this has some tooling to run antlr (see [2]) and
many AST related classes.
Will post here my findings.
Kind regards,
Antonio

Just an FYI, but Antonio has been giving some effort recently. And that is
a welcome addition!
