Hi Joe, Thanks for these pointers and providing this implementation. So is this to say that JEP 119 is/will not be part of JDK 8? Is it considered for being included in JDK 9 then?
I like the idea of that JEP, because the current distinct APIs at processing and runtime easily lead to redundancies when dealing with annotations. E.g. for Hibernate Validator we provide an annotation processor for compile-time checking of constraints which basically re-implements logic from the runtime library. So it'd be nice to see JEP 119 as part of the JDK. --Gunnar 2014/1/17 Joe Darcy <joe.da...@oracle.com> > Hello Gunnar, > > I posted a blog entry about that effort a while ago: > > "javax.lang.model backed by core reflection" > https://blogs.oracle.com/darcy/entry/core_backed_lang_model > > and the source code can be found in the JDK 8 Hg repos: > > http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/langtools/file/tip/ > src/share/sample/language/model/CoreReflectionFactory.java > > HTH, > > -Joe > > > On 01/16/2014 04:30 PM, Gunnar Morling wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm looking for guidance on how to work with JEP 119 ("javax.lang.model >> Implementation Backed by Core Reflection"). >> >> Is this part of the latest JDK 8 build (123)?
