[ragel-users] Generating Java source code

[Adrian Thurston]

Steve,

I would still consider Java code generation to be experimental. A number of 
tests do pass, however there is a big change which need to be made. Colin 
Fleming reported that Java has a 64K limit on array sizes which causes 
compilation to fail for large machines. He even provided a patch, though it 
hasn't been integrated yet because I've been slowly mulling over the problem 
... more like sulking actually. I think part of me really wants to believe 
that the limit will magically go away. Anyways, a fix should come soonish.

In the meantime it may well be that Mongrel's parser is small enough that 
this limit is not hit.
