Switch to using a plugin file instead of scripts #120

Closed quintesse closed 8 years ago

See ceylon-compiler/bin for examples. We can then copy it to ceylon-dist/dist/bin during the build so it's available by default.

Hm, first time I’m seeing those files – I’d have spoken up against the ; comment syntax if I’d known earlier :/

So what do I do? Include a CeylonFormatTool class in ceylon.formatter and point to it with the plugin file?

quintesse commented 8 years ago

They are property files, I wasn't going to come up with a different format for the fun of it ;)

It doesn't have a Tool yet? Ok, I didn't know that. It would be the nicest solution though as it would integrate best into the tool chain. But if it's too difficult or too much work we can add the scripts themselves to the distribution as well I guess.

Well, AFAIK properties files are usually commented with #… but it’s not a standardized format.

And no, there’s no Tool yet, but I’ll be very happy to get rid of the ugly batch script :)

I’ll probably have to generate the tool to get the options right…

Nope, I cheesed it with Rest :D

Great! Now we only need to integrate this with the distribution (your https://github.com/ceylon/ceylon-dist/issues/43 issue)
