How To Compile Sources

If you checked out the project’s source code from GitHub, you can build the project with maven using:

mvnw clean install

If you want to generate the packaged jar files from the source files, you run the following maven command:

mvnw package

NOTE the jar files for the two modules can be found in:

  • javaparser/javaparser-core/target/javaparser-core-\<version\>.jar
  • javaparser-symbol-solver-core/target/javaparser-symbol-solver-core-\<version\>.jar

Development

If you modify the code of the AST nodes, specifically if you add or remove fields or node classes, the code generators will update a lot of code for you. The run_metamodel_generator.sh script will rebuild the metamodel, which is used by the code generators which are run by run_core_generators.sh Make sure that javaparser-core at least compiles before you run these.

Note: for Eclipse IDE follow the steps described in the wiki.
