Javadoc parsing is slightly tricky but it's not that complicated. The java parser will eventually be complete: space preservation, support for aspects and couple other things up my sleeve. If the license is compatible (which I imagine it's not) then we can just lift the production for javadoc out of their grammar. If the license is fine then I'll take a look if not I won't look at the code. > Erik > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Pete Kazmier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2002 9:12 AM > Subject: Re: JavaDoc grammar busted in Java Parser module. > > > > On Sun, Apr 21, 2002 at 10:33:49PM +1000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Our JavaDoc grammar is currently broken, in that any '@' symbol > signifies > > > a new tag has started. this breaks tags like this: > > > > Yup.
