Re: [Codenarc-developer] PMD Integration ?

[Romain P. <be...@gm...>]

Hi,

First of all, sorry for sending such a short email - I was exhausted
yesterday and I should have known better :)

Well, first state of art on PMD. Basically PMD has been modified (by Ryan
Gustavson) to process and execute rules on top of AST in a more abstract
manner. Before then, PMD was deeply tied to the AST provided, and now you
can simply "plug" an AST, do a little plumbing and "voilà", PMD can now
support rules for a new language.

It's of course not as easy as that, but we already managed to do it for
EcmaScript (Javascript) and XML - and therefore all XML based languages,
such as XSL.

My plan will be to support other JVM based languages, such as Groovy, Scala
and Ceylon, as they all come with AST. In a second time, we might dwelve
into adding support of non Java based languages, if there is an easy way to
do it.

What I'm fishing for in this email is find a way to work closely with
Codenarc's developer on the Groovy integration, because I assume (I may be
wrong) that we could easily reuse in PMD whatever you've been doing to
generate a AST from a Groovy file.

Now, I utterly aplogized, because I didn't do my homework before sending
this email (ie I didn't look at the souce code of Codenarc), so I would
completly understand if you were to say to me "Just look at the code, moron
!" :)
