-----------------------------
> Change Groovydoc processing to support antlr4 grammar including getting
> 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
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0-rc-1
>
>
> 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.
