Comments in generated code

[mehmetsalgar]

Hi,

colfer place the name of schema file to the comment it generates via Maven Plugin, I am using a Windows machine and colfer does not escape the "" in file path and java compiler then complains about 'illegal escape character', is there a way to disable this comment or let it the colfer escape it before putting in the comment?

Thx

Understood. Can you share the generated comment line which causes the Java compiler to fail?
You'll have a solution by tomorrow.

[mehmetsalgar]

sure

@javax.annotation.Generated(value="colf(1)", comments="Colfer from schema file D:\workspace\sample_colfr\org\test\colfer\vo\ProductContainer.java")
public class ProductContainer implements Serializable {

}

[pascaldekloe]

Right, you mean those annotations. Yes they must be escaped of course. No problem.

[pascaldekloe]

Does this fix work for you @mehmetsalgar? Can you use a snapshot or shall I build a release (including Maven pugin)?

[ginopablo]

when will this fix be released for maven-plugin? thanks in advance.

[pascaldekloe]

Most likely in a few months from now. If that's too late for you @ginopablo then I will make a release now. Takes about 40 minutes or so.

[ginopablo]

Thank for your reply. Yes that's too late for me. if i can get a release, i'm keeping colfer in our application.

Done @ginopablo. ✔️ The Maven plugin version 1.11.1 should be in central shortly.

It works of course! Great support, thanks @pascaldekloe
