---------------------------------
Summary: Change Groovydoc processing to get comments from AST
Key: GROOVY-8185
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8185
Project: Groovy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: GroovyDoc
Reporter: Paul King
The new Parrot parser (currently on the master branch) supports capturing
comments within the AST. Groovydoc should be adapted to utilise that
capability. Currently in
{{SimpleGroovyClassDocAssembler#getJavaDocCommentsBeforeNode()}}, a crude
regexp is used to extract the comment out from the source based on the relative
position of a known AST node. Instead, with the new parser, we can simply
extract it from the AST.
