Spoofax 2 Language Example

Example showing how to build Spoofax 2 languages from the command-line with Maven or Gradle. Contains two extremely simple languages:

• front: default Spoofax 2 project, with the start constructor changed to Front.
• back: not a real language, but just extends front. Has a source dependency to front, and adds a 'Compile' builder to it.

In the java directory are Java projects that take a slice of one of the Spoofax 2 language projects, and runs it separately:

• java/parse: demonstrates running just the parser based on the grammar in front.
• java/stratego: demonstrates running just a Stratego strategy from front on an abstract syntax tree.

Maven Build

Requires Maven to be installed. See https://spoofax.dev/howtos/development/setup-maven-for-spoofax-dev/ on how to install the recommended Maven version.

Run:

mvn clean verify

Gradle Build

A Gradle wrapper is included, so Gradle does not need to be installed. A JDK version 8 or higher is required.

Run:

./gradlew build

The Gradle build does not build Eclipse plugins, features, and update sites.
