Using jdt for reading Groovy/Kotlin [message #1823602]

Hi to anyone,

I am using JDT for a standalone refactoring application to read and automatically migrate Java source code. Now I'd like to add two new languages (Groovy and/or Kotlin) into this application, too.

At first I tried to read Groovy with JDT. My groovy classes can be read, but as soon as I use classes from packages, which are imported by default in Groovy (java.util.Collection) JDT fails to resolve these types.

Can you give me a hint what would be the best way to implement those features?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Markus

What do you mean by this?
Reading .class files generated from other languages should work (if those class files adhere to JVMS).
Working with the source code of other languages is not in the scope of JDT.
