* Move to ANTLR 4 with Java 11 lang features and localization. Introduces ANTLR4 and Java 8 language feature support within IDE while also adding additional hooks for localization of syntax error messages, addressing https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3054 and https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3055. The PR is broadly a continuation of https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3055, bringing it up to speed with the latest Processing master plus the changes introduced at https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/5753. **Requires https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/5753 as pre-requisite.** This introduces a number of edits beyond https://github.com/processing/processing/issues/3055 beyond compatibility with current Processing master and https://github.com/processing/processing/pull/5753 including: - Update to the grammar itself - Change ANTLR listeners to emit `TextTransform.Edit` to unify JDT-based `PreprocessingService` and `JavaBuild`, removing code with duplicate purpose. - Introduction of syntax error rewriting with support for localization. - Addition of complete localized strings set for English and Spanish. - Addition of partial localized strings set for other languages. - Refactor of ANTLR-related code for testability and readability - Expansion of tests including full parse tests for new Java features (type inference, lambdas). * Ask travis for ant upgrade prior to run. * Ask Travis for java11 update. * Add openjdk ppa * Travis no confirmation on add ppa. * Force newer ant on travis. * Swtich ant download to www-us mirror. * Switch ant to 1.10.7 * Start x for unit tests in travis. * More complete start x in travis. * Revert x in travis. * Try x in services.
This is an experimental fork to attempt the move to JDK 11. Because that's a major, API-breaking change, it would be Processing 4.
I'm working with Sam Pottinger to incorporate his changes to see if that can be the basis for this new release. Getting things moved to OpenJDK 11 will help the longevity of the project.
It's not clear if we'll ship an actual Processing 4.0, since I have less free time than ever, and very little development help. If you'd like to help, contribute bug fixes.
