javaccPlugin should compile only the javacc file in the inputDirectory

[zosrothko]

Hi

I have 3 jj files in the top directory and all are compiled by JavaCC while only the one in the input directory should be compiled

Z:\git\c\parser>c:\programfiles\gradle\bin\gradle compileJa
:compileJavacc

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Z:\git\c\parser>type build.gradle
buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath group: 'ca.coglinc', name: 'javacc-gradle-plugin', version: '2.3.1'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'ca.coglinc.javacc'
compileJavacc {
    inputDirectory = projectDir
    outputDirectory = file(project.buildDir.absolutePath + '/generated/javacc')
//      arguments = [grammar_encoding: 'UTF-8', static: 'false']
}

You have set the inputDirectory to your $projectDir, which means you'll compile any javacc file that's under it! If you want to compile only what's under src/main/javacc, simply remove the inputDirectory configuration. This is the default value.

[johnmartel]

And I'm pretty sure you don't need the outputDirectory configuration either. You're basically outputting to the default location.
