Has there been a lot of design work/discussion on the compiler? I've been watching
the CVS tree for a few weeks, and I notice that the org/apache/velocity/compiler
package hasn't moved much/any, although I see that Jason Van Zyl has put together a
skeleton Compiler class.
Further research at the mail archives (search on compiler at theaimsgroup) doesn't
reveal much, either, so please forgive me if I'm revisiting a design/implementation
discussion that has already taken place or treading on anyone's pet compiler project
territory.
Is the idea to make the compiled *.vm derive from org.apache.velocity.Template and
implement merge()? This was my idea, and I've been working on traversing the AST Tree
and generating Jasmin (for design only... I did get the impression from the mail
archives that on one is interested in intermediate formats in the final implementation
: ) ).
At any rate, I thought I'd check in before I spent too much time on this...
Is the compiler open for discussion/development?
