Ok, I've got a problem. In JRuby 1.1.3 we started using a compile-time annotation processor to pre-generate a bunch of code. This has helped startup time, since before we did this processing at runtime using Java reflection classes, and just using those classes increased both memory and startup time.
But the problem is that in order to an offline annotation processing, we need to use Sun-specific APIs for the "apt" tool, and need a reflection API that doesn't cause/require the classes to be loaded, since the code we're generating will depend on things that have not been compiled yet. So we're using the com.sun.mirror classes for the annotation processor and all the reflection. Obviously this means a build-time dependency on a Sun JDK, since annotation processing has not yet been standardized. This complicates folks on non-Sun JDKs keeping up with JRuby trunk, since they can't build it. The dependency does not extend to runtime, however. So my questions: Is there a third-party annotation processing tool/library we could use instead? - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
