Hello everyone,
I would like to make the JDT community aware that work has begun to
support JDT using javac instead of ECJ. There are two parts to this that
are being focused on, in order of priority. The first is about getting
JDT to use a DOM first approach instead of relying on the ECJ parser.
The second part is about getting JDT to run on javac and achieve feature
parity with JDT on ECJ.
Since this work requires extensive changes to JDT, work has begun in an
incubator repository. [1] Once functionality has reached a minimum
level, PRs will be made to contribute the work back to JDT “upstream”.
Some preliminary PRs can be found here [2][3], with some others already
having been merged in JDT core.
If anyone is interested in helping with this endeavour please feel free
to reach out in this thread or file tickets/discussions in the incubator
repository. [1]
