[antlr-interest] I am planning to write a beautifier for Java (jaboby..)

[Veerasamy, Thirumalai (Cognizant)]

Hi Jon,

   As you said, I am not planning to write a new
formatter. I am planning to rewrite the jaloby code
with different formatting engine. Since jaloby used
the ANTLR, I wanted to know the following things.

   I will try out the tree construction documenation.
I downloaded the full pdf but couldn't locate the
part. let me check it out again

Regards
Thiru

Any particular reason the ones that currently exist
don't fit your
needs? You might be better off enhancing an existing
one, rather than
starting from scratch.

You'll probably want to have two Parsers here, one for
the Java code and
one for the Javadoc comments.

tokens/nodes of AST/Token.

I seem to remember this is in the tree construction
documentation for
antlr, but could be mistaken.

One can be found on the antlr website, although it
tosses comments,
which is why I suggested two parsers in 1
