Porting Automation - Sharpen

2010-11-04 Thread Alex Thompson
I did an initial run of Lucene 3.0.2 through Sharpen. It stops when there is an error or finds something it doesn't have a mapping for. I added some placeholder mappings so it would at least get through a few files. Here is a package of what I have so far: http://convid.com/alex/lucene/Lucene.Net.

George, I await your list of actionable tasks but I wanted to zero in on your remarks about deltas. If we did a 2.9.3 release, would it be reasonable to take our current 2.9.2 and do commit-per-commit porting from the java to get there? What about 3.0.2? Could it be done commit-per-commit or would

I don't think Lucene.Net staying a line-by-line port is craziness. We're not saying that Lucene.Net is the one true implementation and there can be no others. I see Lucene.Net as part of a spectrum of solutions. On one end of the spectrum is IKVM. If you want all the java lucene features immedi

Thanksgiving did slow me down, so there is hope. On another note, are there any committers that are still interested in committing? If there aren't, obviously that's a major roadblock. Can we create new committers relatively soon? -Original Message- From: Prescott Nasser [mailto:geobmx..

Maybe we could just bug-fix support the current 2.9.2 codebase unless people really need something in 2.9.x I think there would be a 3.0.x line-by-line port and a 3.0.x idiomatic version. I'd like to throw another idea into the mix which is perhaps the idiomatic version could be created by an aut

I agree some things will fall outside of the pure syntax mapping of a conversion but I think its possible to have a more integrated pre/post than the patch workflow laid out below. First a little background on the internals of sharpen, which uses an abstract syntax tree(AST) approach. Overall it

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.2 (ganymede-SR2) for Java EE. You need a Java EE edition to build plugins. I haven't tried the Helios versions. The repository is SVN not CVS so you need an SVN plugin (regular windows TortoiseSVN had some problems). I use Subclipse http://subclipse.tigris.org/ and that gives
