Hello.

It's a simple preprocessor for java. Less powerfull, then
yours, but the biggest plus of it is that you can use it
with javac and eclipse (and others standard java
development tools) without any patches and
modifications.

https://sjpp.dev.java.net/

Can you make SJPP and Antenna compatible? Maybe add
more power to SJPP rules, and a way to pass SJPP
preprocessor defines to Antenna and so on.

    I don't see what exactly the point of this is request is. Do
    you want syntactical compatibility (the two are already very
    close, as far as I can see)? Or do you want to be able to
    call SJPP from Antenna? And what exactly do you mean by "use
    it with javac and eclipse without any patches"?

    Btw: Might be easier to discuss this via mail or on the
    Antenna list.

    We discussed this via private mail. The idea is that Java
    1.4 upwards has a feature that allows to use the
    preprocessor while compiling, similar to a real
    preprocessor. There would be no need for temporary src files
    or a separate preprocess task anymore (though WtkPreprocess
    would remain for compatibility reasons, of course). The idea
    sounds great. I'll try that once I find the time.
