Built by Maven

javacc:jtb

Full name:

org.codehaus.mojo:javacc-maven-plugin:3.1.1:jtb

Deprecated:

As of version 2.4, use the jtb-javacc goal instead.

Description:

Parses a JTB file and transforms it into source files for an AST and a JavaCC grammar file which automatically builds the AST.Note: JTB requires Java 1.5 or higher. This goal will not work with earlier versions of the JRE.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Since version: 2.2.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: generate-sources.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<descriptiveFieldNames> Boolean - Setting this option to true causes JTB to generate field names that reflect the structure of the tree instead of generic names like f0, f1 etc. Default value is false.
User Property: javacc.descriptiveFieldNames
<excludes> String[] - A set of Ant-like exclusion patterns used to prevent certain files from being processed. By default, this set is empty such that no files are excluded.
<includes> String[] - A set of Ant-like inclusion patterns used to select files from the source directory for processing. By default, the patterns **/*.jtb and **/*.JTB are used to select grammar files.
<javadocFriendlyComments> Boolean - If true, all generated comments will be wrapped in <pre> tags so that they are formatted correctly in API docs. Default value is false.
User Property: javacc.javadocFriendlyComments
<nodePackageName> String - This option specifies the package for the generated AST nodes. This value may use a leading asterisk to reference the package of the corresponding parser. For example, if the parser package is org.apache and this parameter is set to *.demo, the tree node classes will be located in the package org.apache.demo. Default value is *.syntaxtree.
User Property: javacc.nodePackageName
<nodeParentClass> String - The qualified name of a user-defined class from which all AST nodes will inherit. By default, AST nodes will inherit from the generated class Node.
User Property: javacc.nodeParentClass
<outputDirectory> File - The directory where the output Java files will be located.
Default: ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/jtb
User Property: javacc.outputDirectory
<packageName> String - This option is short for nodePackageName = <packageName>.syntaxtree and visitorPackageName = <packageName>.visitor. Note that this option takes precedence over nodePackageName and visitorPackageName if specified.
User Property: javacc.packageName
<parentPointers> Boolean - If true, all nodes will contain fields for its parent node. Default value is false.
User Property: javacc.parentPointers
<printer> Boolean - If true, JTB will generate a syntax tree dumping visitor. Default value is false.
User Property: javacc.printer
<scheme> Boolean - If true, JTB will generate the following files to support the Schema programming language:
  • Scheme records representing the grammar.
  • A Scheme tree building visitor.
Default value is false.
User Property: javacc.scheme
<sourceDirectory> File - The directory where the JavaCC grammar files (*.jtb) are located. It will be recursively scanned for input files to pass to JTB.
Default: ${basedir}/src/main/jtb
User Property: javacc.sourceDirectory
<specialTokens> Boolean - If true, JTB will include JavaCC "special tokens" in the AST. Default value is false.
User Property: javacc.specialTokens
<staleMillis> int - The granularity in milliseconds of the last modification date for testing whether a source needs recompilation.
Default: 0
User Property: javacc.lastModGranularityMs
<supressErrorChecking> Boolean - If true, JTB will suppress its semantic error checking. Default value is false.
User Property: javacc.supressErrorChecking
<timestampDirectory> File - The directory to store the processed input files for later detection of stale sources.
Default: ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/jtb-timestamp
User Property: javacc.timestampDirectory
<visitorPackageName> String - This option specifies the package for the generated visitors. This value may use a leading asterisk to reference the package of the corresponding parser. For example, if the parser package is org.apache and this parameter is set to *.demo, the visitor classes will be located in the package org.apache.demo. Default value is *.visitor.
User Property: javacc.visitorPackageName
