I've considered doing the same, but the compiler I need to hook into is javac, not JRuby's compiler. Groovy has a different situation because they want to process annotations in Groovy code, not in Java code. I need cross-JDK annotation processing of annotations in JRuby's Java code, unfortunately. - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
