Maven plugin

[Domas]

Hello,
Currently I'm using JavaCC for my projects via as javacc-maven-plugin
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/javacc-maven-plugin/). Is there a way to use
FreeCC from Maven?

P.S. freecc-0.9.3.tar.gz available from FreeCC site contains
unnecessary SVN metadata. Executing "svn export"
before archive creation would reduce file size considerably.

Hi, sorry to have been so slow to answer such a simple question.

Currently, I guess the answer is no. At least, there is currently no
equivalent freecc maven plugin.

That said, it is probably fairly trivial to patch the
javacc-maven-plugin that you linked so that it can optionally run
freecc. That kind of thing is, of course, just a little bit of glue
code AFAICS.

So, basically, I'd encourage you to bring this up with the people who
maintain the javacc maven plugin.

Yeah. Actually, I left the SVN metadata in there deliberately on the
theory that I could just tell people to type in 'svn update' from the
top directory to get whatever fixes, this being a development build
basically. OTOH, I didn't realize that leaving the SVN stuff in there
actually more than doubles the size of the archive, so I already have
been considering not including the svn metadata. But anyway, thanks
for the note. It's nice to know that somebody is noticing what one is
doing! :-)
