Re: [Jflex-devel] Have you given a shot to Bazel?

[Gerwin K. <ge...@do...>]

So, I’ve finally managed to take a closer look at Bazel and I really like its responsiveness.

Will probably need to spend a bit more time with it for it to feel really familiar. I’ve managed to build and run jflex and the example through bazel, but I haven’t figured out yet for instance how to get a list of all available test targets (or how to run them all). 

In any case, it’s looking pretty good.

Cheers,
Gerwin
