Hi all, thanks for Colin for writing this up. To me this discussion is not so much about the particular feature (enhancing generators), but rather about us making smart choices. We are already struggling to get 2.8 out the door (and making sure it will work with the next version of Guava). So I'd rather be lighten the work load and remove things that do not need to be done I also feel that further enhancing generators dilutes the message we have been giving for the past year: *Do not use generators anymore, use APTs.*
I am also worried about possible problems that we will uncover once we allow these things to go into generators. With the exception of GWT RPC all generators should be easily portable to an APT. I would love to see work being put into that direction rather than updating a system we are all not happy with. -Daniel On Tue, May 3, 2016 at 11:59 AM Jens <jens.nehlme...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> - add new features to existing generators / linkers >> >> > I think to some extend some new features should also be fine if they are > related to Java 8.
