Manifold acceptance tests #139
Description
If possible, add acceptance tests for Manifold framework.
This was attempted previously but issues arose around JCT using a custom classloader implementation rather than a URLClassLoader like the StandardFileManager uses. This issue should now be resolved since we are using a URLClassLoader implementation now.
Other constraints may stop this from being able to be implemented, but it is worth a shot as if it works, it will give us a bunch of additional test cases for integrating with existing projects; especially since I believe Manifold works similar to Lombok in that it alters the AST of compiled sources.
From what I remember, Manifold uses JavacPlugin bases in some places rather than javax.annotation.processing.Processor bases, so this should be a useful additional test to prove that JCT is compatible with the logic flows that Javac uses internally.
I'd ideally like to have several different annotation processor tests for this. At a minimum, the following would be nice to have:
- preprocessor (
#define) - extension methods
- operator overloading
- unit expressions (
var velocity = 100 mi / 3 hr;)
All of the tests can live under the same Maven module rather than separate modules for everything.
