Lifted,
i've added support to the rlambda lift
project<http://code.google.com/p/rlambda/>taking it within range of
being a candidate DSL-archetype. At this point it
is possible simply to supply a .cf file in the src/main/bnfc directory and
it will generate everything from that. i've still got to conditionally
include the Eval and Compile functionality for DSL that have/don't have this
capability.
i've two remaining questions for this leg of the work.
- Does anyone know how to reference maven dependencies within some flavor
of maven-antrun-plugin? The original version does not appear to have this
functionality and Sun's maven-antrun-extended-plugin (which is supposed to
supply this functionality) has so little documentation (that i could find)
that i couldn't get it to work after an hour our so.
- This version requires that BNFC, as an executable, be available on the
path. Is there a blessed way to handle this sort of dependency?
- i've got a hare-brained scheme that will fix this -- a
meta-compiler-compiler from BNFC's input format to ANTLR's. i
could include
such a transform as a part of the project or a dependency and
test for the
availability of BNFC and fall back to ANTLR if it's not available.
If anybody wanted to give this round of updates a whirl, even give me a code
review, i would be very grateful.
Best wishes,
