Eric Milles updated GROOVY-8547:
--------------------------------
    Component/s: parser

> Factory pattern side-stepped by CompilerConfiguration/ParserVersion
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: GROOVY-8547
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8547
>             Project: Groovy
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: parser
>            Reporter: Eric Milles
>            Priority: Minor
>
> It seems to me the selection of the Antlr2 or Antlr4 parser could be 
> implemented within a default implementation of {{ParserPluginFactory}} 
> instead of introducing {{ParserVersion}} with separate get/set on 
> {{CompilerConfiguration}}.  I don't see the need for static factory methods 
> {{antlr2()}} and {{antlr4()}} on {{ParserPluginFactory}}, their use from 
> {{CompilerConfiguration}} and the strange class loading in 
> {{ParserPluginFactory}}.
> The factory pattern appears to me to be side-stepped in favor of a version 
> constant.  Is there still meaning is offering a config option of setting a 
> {{ParserPluginFactory}}?  Has this been used ever in the past?
> Couldn't this suffice for a default in {{CompilerConfiguration}}?  Then 
> {{ParserVersion}} could be dropped.
> {code:java}
>     public ParserPluginFactory getPluginFactory() {
>         if (pluginFactory == null) {
>             pluginFactory = new ParserPluginFactory() {
>                 @Override
>                 public ParserPlugin createParserPlugin() {
>                     return Boolean.getBoolean(GROOVY_ANTLR4_OPT) ? new 
> Antlr4PluginFactory() : new AntlrParserPluginFactory();
>                 }
>             }              
>         }
>         return pluginFactory;
>     }
> {code}
