It would be convenient to have the Java to C++ translator that is used for generating parts of the HTML5 parser in the tree so that anyone who needs to run it doesn't need to obtain a suitable revision separately. Checking it in has been OKed by licensing at mozilla.org.

Is there a project name for this? For the moment I think we want an entirely separate repository such as hg.mozilla.org/html5parser. If you like we can look at importing the history from subversion... the convert tool should do this without problems.

When/if Henri switches to Mercurial, we can simply update parser/html/java/htmlparser/Makefile. Also updated the license blocks to list me as a contributor instead of the initial developer.

Comment on attachment 388568 [details] [diff] [review] make targets to update java sources and perform translation >diff --git a/.hgignore b/.hgignore >+\.class$ This seems like a bad idea in general, given that we have two checked in *.class files (below). Maybe it could be restricted to certain directories? dom/tests/mochitest/dom-level2-html/files/applets/org/w3c/domts/DOMTSApplet.class dom/tests/mochitest/dom-level2-html/files/applet2.class

Based on a brief experiment just now, it appears that .hgignore patterns don't have any bearing on files that've been 'hg add'-ed, meaning that any existing .class files (like these two) are safe. However, I'm more than happy to restrict the pattern to exclude just the files I've knowingly introduced.

This all started when I wanted to change 'make sync' so that it didn't clobber local files. I noticed that I was repeating the same changes in two or three different Makefiles, so I moved the common bits into proper shell scripts.

Please file a new bug for followups, this bug is fixed! :)
