• FIXED: The generated metamodel classes now have the @Generated annotation (PR #2706, by @MysterAitch)
• various other bugfixes and enhancements

Version 3.16.1

issues resolved

• FIXED: Fixed typo (PR #2697, by @hfreeb)

Version 3.16.0

issues resolved

There are two breaking changes within this release. If you would like assistance with upgrading, get in touch.

• FIXED: Edits to the value of a string value are now correctly handled for use with Lexical Preservation (PR #2646, by @lemoncurry)
• FIXED: Edits to the value of other literal values also now handled (PR #2679, by @MysterAitch)
• BREAKING CHANGE: Tokens relating to literal values now have the category of JavaToken.Category.LITERAL (previously JavaToken.Category.KEYWORD) (PR #2679, by @MysterAitch)
• FIXED: Add symbol solver support for variadic parameters given zero or more than one argument, and when an array is given (PR #2675, by @hfreeb)
• CHANGED: Added the keyword synchronized to JavaParserFacade#get. This is specifically in response to #2668 - JavaParser is not otherwise threadsafe.
  (PR #2694, by @MysterAitch)
• BREAKING CHANGE: The following methods now return Optional<> (as do all classes which implement/extend them): ResolvedClassDeclaration#getSuperClass(), ResolvedReferenceType#getTypeDeclaration().
  Note that Converting to use optional should be as simple as adding .get(), given that any cases where returning Optional.empty() causes problems would have also previously triggered a NullPointerException. You might also use .orElseThrow().
  (PR #2693, by @MysterAitch)
• CHANGED: Added some temporary logic to allow tests to use slightly different expected results based on the version of java used (e.g. java.lang.Object.registerNatives() removed in JDK14)
  (PR #2637, by @EFregnan)
• FIXED: Fix resolving overloaded methods of external types
  (PR #2687, by @maartenc)
• FIXED: Fix resolving method references on expressions other than ReferenceType::methodname
  (PR #2674, by @maartenc)

Version 3.15.22

issues resolved

• REVERT: Rollback of upgrade to ph-javacc-maven-plugin from v4.1.3 to v4.1.2 (this undoes the transitive dependency update parser-generator-cc from v1.1.2 to v1.1.1, which appears to have isuse with handling tokens longer than the buffer length)
  (#2646)
• ADDED: Support resolving an enum's valueOf method (#2652)
• FIXED: Fixed build warning -- bnd-maven-plugin flagging missing id (#2605)
• FIXED: Fixed cases where nodes added after a trailing comment would incorrectly be added to the same line (thus be part of the comment) (#2646)
• FIXED: Fixed resolving overloaded static method references (e.g. String::valueOf in a stream map/filter) (#2662)

Version 3.15.21

issues resolved

• DEPRECATED: Deprecated and documented JarTypeSolver#getJarTypeSolver(String), with a view to later removal. (#2598) (#2622)
• FIXED: Fix issue #2552 : UnsupportedOperationException caused by resolving inner annotation (#2553)
• FIXED: Parents of NodeLists now correctly retain their parent when a child is replaced (#2594)
• FIXED: Fix JavaParserClassDeclaration canBeAssignedTo() to not cause a recursion when a node is its own parent (e.g. java.lang.Object) (#2608)
• FIXED: Fix replacing an expression preceded by a comment (LexicalPreservation would previously throw an UnsupportedOperation) (#2611)
• FIXED: The collection strategies now correctly take into account the parser configuration that is passed in via the constructor. (#2619)

• BREAKING: Java 13: break no longer has an expression, this was part of a language preview in Java 12 and has been removed in Java 13.
• BREAKING: Java 13: YieldStatement and the keyword yield have been added. This means the token numbers have changed, and this affects serialization. If you rely on serialized tokens, be sure to deserialize with your current version and serialize with this version.
• Java 13: TextBlockLiteralExpr has been added.
• This release is broken because no identifier called yield can be used.

• "BREAKING": ReferenceType.getDirectAncestors() no longer returns java.lang.Object when called on a ReferenceType of java.lang.Object. This remedies infinite recursions in certain edge cases.

issues resolved

Version 3.13.0 (buggy!)

• "BREAKING": The static JavaParser.parse... methods have moved to StaticJavaParser.parse...!

issues resolved

Version 3.12.0

• "BREAKING": all deprecated code was removed. If you don't know what to do, try version 3.11.0 and read the Javadoc for the deprecated methods. It tells you what to use instead.

issues resolved

Version 3.11.0

• BREAKING: SwitchEntryStmt is now SwitchEntry, because it was never a statement.
• BREAKING: a case in a switch can now have multiple labels, so SwitchEntry no longer has an Expression label, but a NodeList<Expression> label.
• This completes parsing support for Java 12. Symbol resolution is still to be done.

issues resolved

Version 3.10.1

issues resolved

Version 3.10.0

• slightly breaking: besides break; and break [label]; there is now break [expression]; like break 1+2; or break "bye!"; . That means that BreakStmt no longer has a label, it has a value which is of type Expression. This is to prepare for Java 12 switch expressions. You can find the details in the Javadoc.

issues resolved

Version 3.9.1

issues resolved

Version 3.9.0

• MAJOR BREAKAGE: modifiers (like public, static, transient) used to be a special case: they were enums stored in an EnumSet. This meant they were not true Nodes, had to be treated in a special way, and missed some information. This has now been corrected in PR 1975.

• LexicalPreservingPrinter has had a big speed optimization.

Version 3.5.9

issues resolved

• BREAKING: the very confusing constructor NodeList(Node) (which sets the parent) was removed.
• To avoid using the int type for token kinds, use the new JavaToken.Kind enum. It can convert to and from the int kind.

issues resolved

• the module name is now set to com.github.javaparser.core

Version 3.5.7

• BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.5.5

• SourceRoot is now silent by default - look at the Log class if you want to change that.
• BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.5.4

issues resolved

• BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.5.3

• BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.5.2

• Receiver parameters are now well-supported instead of being a hack. See issue 1194 for a description.
• BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.4.4

issues resolved

• BETA: the below work on Java Symbol Solver is still ongoing.

Version 3.4.3

issues resolved

• BETA: we're still doing work to integrate parts of Java Symbol Solver to simplify its API.
• VisitorMap is joined by VisitorSet and VisitorList, for when you want to store Nodes in collection but don't want its default equals/hascode behaviour

Version 3.4.2

issues resolved

• BETA: we're doing work to integrate parts of Java Symbol Solver to simplify its API.
• JDK 9 will compile JavaParser now.
• An official sample Maven setup was added.

Version 3.4.1

issues resolved

• Two visitors were added: NoCommentEqualsVisitor and NoCommentHashCodeVisitor - as the name implies you can use these to compare nodes without considering comments. Thanks Ryan Beckett!
• isSomeType() methods have been added for many types that help avoid instanceof.
• asSomeType() methods have been added for many types that help avoid casting to that type.
• ifSomeType() methods have been added for many types, giving a nice functional way of doing if-is-type-then-cast-to-type-then-use.
• The LexicalPreservingPrinter had its API changed a little: setup and printing are now separate things, so you don't have to drag an instance of LexicalPreservingPrinter through your code anymore.
• traverseScope was added to all nodes with a scope, so you can travel through the scope without tripping over (non-)optionality.

Version 3.4.0

issues resolved

• BREAKING: We missed a Java 9 feature which is now on board: try with resources can now refer to a resource declared outside of the statement. This means that the node type you get for those resources is now Expression instead of VariableDeclarationExpr. For Java 8 and below you can simply cast it to VariableDeclarationExpr again. See also the Javadoc for TryStmt.
• You can now inspect the AST by exporting it to XML, JSON, YAML, or a Graphviz's dot diagram, thanks to Ryan Beckett!
• GenericVisitorWithDefaults and VoidVisitorWithDefaults were added which function like empty visitors, but all the visit methods call a default method by default.
• Annotation support was cleaned up, adding some obscure locations where you can have annotations.
• EnumDeclaration regained its constructor builder methods. They were accidentally lost around 3.2.2.
• ArrayType now has an origin field which indicates in which position the array brackets were found.

Version 3.3.5

issues resolved

Version 3.3.4

issues resolved

• SourceZip has been added. Use it to read source code from jars or zip files. Thank you @ryan-beckett !
• JavaCC was upgraded to 7.0.2
• A new option for the pretty printer was added. You can now wrap-and-column-align parameters of method calls. Thank you @tarilabs !

Version 3.3.3

issues resolved

• Parsing a partial java file (like an expression or statement) no longer ignores trailing code.
• New memory saving option: turn off token list.

Version 3.3.2

issues resolved

• VisitorMap lets you override hashcode/equals for nodes when used as a key for a map.

Version 3.3.1

issues resolved

• The token list is now mutable - see methods on JavaToken. This caused mild breakage - some fields have become Optional.

Version 3.3.0

issues resolved

• Breaking: TryStmt::tryBlock and EnclosedExpr::inner were optional for no good reason. Now they are required.
• You can now ask a JavaToken for its category, which is useful for examining the token list or doing syntax highlighting or so.
• enum and strictfp can now be used as identifiers on lower Java versions.

Version 3.2.12

issues resolved

Version 3.2.11

issues resolved

• We're up to date with the latest Java 9 module system again.

Version 3.2.10

issues resolved

• Node.replace(old, new) was added, including property-specific X.replaceY(newY) methods

Version 3.2.9

Scrapped due to release problem.

Version 3.2.8

issues resolved

• Added isInnerClass() that checks if a ClassOrInterfaceDeclaration is an inner class (note: this is different from a nested class!)
• @ryan-beckett contributed a huge Eclipse setup guide

Version 3.2.7

issues resolved

• We now recover from some parse errors! Here is an article

Version 3.2.6

issues resolved

• EmptyMemberDeclaration is gone! It was deprecated for a while because it was in the AST, but doesn't have any meaning in a Java program. EmptyStmt was also deprecated, but that has been reverted. This node does have meaning.

Version 3.2.5

issues resolved

• NodeWithCondition was added on all nodes containing a condition.
• Lots of work on improving lexical preservation.
• If a file was parsed from a file system, you can now get path information etc. from CompilationUnit
• API BREAKING: every node now points to its start and end token. Some of the API has started returning TokenRange instead of Range - you can call toRange to get the old object type. We may still change the naming of some of this code in the following month.

Version 3.2.4

New style changelog, no more issue numbers, but a link: issues resolved and any notable changes:

• the new method Node.removeForced() by removing it, or removing the first parent that is optional. This is different from Node.remove(), remove() only tries to remove the node from the parent and fails if it can't.
• FieldAccessExpr.scope is now a required property. You might find some get()s in your code that are no longer necessary.
• ReferenceType no longer has a type parameter, so every ReferenceType<?> can be replaced by ReferenceType now.

Version 3.2.3

• 907 906 905 903 911 910 909 908 smaller improvements and fixes

• 872 873 874 787 Remaining Java 9 work.

Version 3.1.3

Beta: TreeStructureVisitor, and LexicalPreservingPrinter.

A start has been made on source level support. The default level is Java 8. It can be set to Java 9 like this for a parser instance:

private final JavaParser parser = new JavaParser(new ParserConfiguration().setValidator(new Java9Validator()));

and like this for the static parse methods:

QuickJavaParser.getConfiguration().setValidator(new Java9Validator());

• 862 552 "_" is an illegal identifier on source level 9.
• 869 867 109 855 857 smaller improvements and fixes

Version 3.1.2

Beta: TreeStructureVisitor, ConcreteSyntaxModel, and LexicalPreservingPrinter.

• 594 849 831 a validation framework was introduced to inform about problems in the AST without needing to change the grammar, and without requiring parsing code. It is open for extension by users.
• 852 853 826 832 846 839 smaller improvements and fixes

Version 3.1.1

Beta: TreeStructureVisitor, ConcreteSyntaxModel, and LexicalPreservingPrinter.

• 654 124 lexical preservation (printing source code with the same formatting it had when parsing) has been added. Thank you @ftomassetti for a lot of work!
• 554 800 first (big) step towards Java 9 support: JavaParser can read project Jigsaw module definitions.
• 795 786 751 extend the TreeVisitor with more traversal options. Thanks @ryan-beckett!
• 791 GenericListVisitorAdapter has been added which collects its results in a list. Thanks @Gottox!
• 815 798 797 813 clean up Problem text
• 819 818 817 816 441 809 808 807 fix various absurd annotation related issues.
• 777 805 802 796 790 792 793 781 784 785 783 782 779 357 799 763 smaller improvements and fixes

Version 3.1.0

Beta: TreeStructureVisitor and ConcreteSyntaxModel.

• 705 755 Add the concrete syntax model, which will give you information about the exact syntax a certain nodes matches.

• 777 smaller improvements and fixes

Version 3.1.0-beta.2

This version is a beta because TreeStructureVisitor is not in its definite state yet.

• 762 761 772 merge javaparser-metamodel and javaparser-generator-utils into javaparser-core.
• 766 the ModifierVisitor is now created by a code generator. Its behaviour has been made logical, and may give different results than before.
• 755 ConstructorDeclaration and MethodDeclaration now share a parent: CallableDeclaration
• 687 759 773 769 768 767 765 759 smaller improvements and fixes

Version 3.1.0-beta.1

This version is a beta because there are a lot of new features that may still change.

This version needs a minor version increase because of a backwards compatability issue:

• 719 getJavadoc, getJavadocComment and getComment could return null. Our promise was to return Optional, so that is what they do now.

New:

• 658 718 736 737 we have created a metamodel. It gives information about the structure of the various AST nodes, as if you are introspecting them. You can find it in javaparser-metamodel, the main class is JavaParserMetaModel
• 353 365 visitors are no longer hand made, they are now generated from the metamodel. This should make them 100% reliable. Affected visitors are: GenericVisitorAdapter, EqualsVisitor, VoidVisitorAdapter, VoidVisitor, GenericVisitor, HashCodeVisitor, CloneVisitor.

If you want to generate your own visitors, you can use the VisitorGenerator class from javaparser-core-generators

If you want to reuse the code generation utilities, look at module javaparser-generator-utils - there is a very useful SourceRoot class in there that takes away a lot of file management troubles.

• 538 735 TreeStructureVisitor has been added, which should be considered beta.
• 220 733 717 749 745 750 743 748 666 732 746 734 733 smaller improvements and fixes
