Exploring the Architecture of Javelin with a Dependency Structure Matrix

摘要

Javelin is a compiler framework written entirely in Java. It lets developers support new languages or extend current languages. It also provides interfaces to the parsing and compilation process. For instance, an IDE's editor can take advantage of Javelin to support syntax highlighting, code completions, and refactoring. Javelin could be extended to compile languages like XSLT, XQuery, and PHP. It already contains a Java compiler and an XML Schema compiler, which is fully integrated into BEA Workshop and provides support for various editing and compiling tasks. The JSP compiler also uses the Javelin framework.
