The OpenEdge Hive

- Installed Eclipse "Standard"
- SVN checkout proparse
- Import project directory into Eclipse. Lots of errors and warnings.
- Copied /lib from Proparse.Java install to root dir of proparse svn checkout directory, refreshed project. No errors.
- Navigate to /org.prorefactor.core/src/org/prorefactor/core/unittest/AllPRCoreTests.java, right mouse click, Run As -> JUnit Test. No errors.

If changing grammar files (.g), we need to be able to run the Antlr parser-generator:

We use Ant to do the build, but Ant has to be able to find Antlr. Choose Window > Preferences > Ant > Runtime > Classpath. Select Global Entries. Click Add Jars..., and select org.prorefactor.lib/antlr/antlr.jar file. Click Add Variable... and enter ${workspace_loc:/org.prorefactor.core/bin/}. This is required because there is additional post-processing which must be done after Antlr has generated the source for the tree parser. You can close this Preferences window now.

In the package which contains the tree parser, select the build.xml file. Right-click, and choose Run > Ant Build... to get the properties dialog.

Choose the Refresh tab, and enable the automatic refresh of the containing folder. Now when you choose Run > Ant Build, the refresh and re-compile will be done automatically.

Have a look at:
/org.prorefactor.core/src/org/prorefactor/core/unittest/TestNewSyntax.java
/** Test all tree parsers against new syntax.
* These tests just run the tree parsers against the data/newsyntax directory.
* If no exceptions are thrown, then the tests pass.
* The files in the "newsyntax" directories are subject to change, so no other
* tests should be added other than the expectation that they parse clean.
*/
You can see the schema and propath for that project in prorefactor/projects/unittest. It's the sports2000 schema, with the "data" directory in the propath.

You should be able to add new .p, .w, or .cls files to data/newsyntax and the unit test should find them and test that they parse OK. Throw in a bit of invalid syntax to check that the unittest fails as expected. Or, better yet, add an ABL file with new (failing) syntax first before updating Proparse so that you can see the unit tests go from "fail" to "pass".

To generate the .Net DLL:
Download ikvm.net and copy bin directory to ikvmbin in your project directory.
Launching the Ant build for the project will get lots of warnings from ikvm, but it should build proparse.assemblies.zip OK.
