Why you did not use ASM [1] ?
I planned to look at ASM for a long time now, but I didn't have the
time. In short, it was faster for me to write a simple classfile
parser (given that I already have code lying around that does that)
than to learn a new Java library. I agree ASM is much more general,
and taking the time to learn its workings may help me in the long run,
but I must say I am not a big fan of the visitor pattern.
Or better provide a patch to javap to dump java5 signatures.
That would be desirable too, just that I see two problems: the next
Java release is at least a year away, so I'd need to release my tool
by some other means anyway. The second is that I prefer to use Scala
when it comes to parsing. I must say I don't know how easy it is to
contribute to the JDK, so maybe I am overly cautious and the process
is simple and fast.
thanks for your feedback,
iulian
Contributing to OpenJDK is simple and fast if you have already signed
the OCA (ex-SCA)
http://openjdk.java.net/contribute/
You need to sign that stuff once because the OpenJDK source is also used
to create
the proprietary Oracle JDK so you need to grant them the copyright of
your code.
javac or javap are written in Java and are compiled with Ant,
so you can use the patched version (a jar) until there is a stable released.
