Bug 174222

Description Martin Taal 2007-02-14 15:07:44 EST

Build ID: 3.3M4

Steps To Reproduce:
Jet throws a runtimeexception when it generates a java file with compile errors, it is easier if the java source is still written to a file because then errors in templates can more easily be identified.


More information:
Here is a part of an emft newsgroup exchange:

By Ed:
A similar type of issue came up in the GMF newsgroup and in that case it wasn't really even an error in the generated code but simply a redundant semicolon that was configured to be treated as a warning.    The issue arises here in ASTFacadeHelper:

      public ASTJCompilationUnit createCompilationUnit(String name, String contents)
      {
        // set source
        char[] contentAsCharArray = contents.toCharArray();
        ASTParser astParser = createASTParser();
        astParser.setSource(contentAsCharArray);

        // parse
        CompilationUnit astCompilationUnit = (CompilationUnit)astParser.createAST(null);

        // display errors if any
        if (astCompilationUnit.getProblems().length > 0)
        {
          // TODO do a better job with reporting errors     
          String problems = logCompilationErrors(astCompilationUnit.getProblems());
         
          // NAME may be passed as name - do not show it
          if (name != null && !"".equals(name) && !"NAME".equals(name))
          {
            problems = name + ":" + problems;
          }
         
          // stop merging and report problems
          throw new RuntimeException(problems);
        }
