Roadmap

• Project setup (Gradle?).
• Logic of the parser and the diff.
  • Build the tree of an sample java class, the tree of a modified java class.
  • Start to match nodes together (classes with classes, methods with methods, fields with fields, blocks of code and fields inside methods, etc ...).
  • Try to make the tree as complete a possible, so we can detect more differences based on semantics (variable renamed, methods moved from class to class, if yes or not the logic of a block of code changed, etc...).
• Integration in NetBeans & Git/Mercurial/SVN.
• Other experiment to do in NetBeans:
  • Unordered views of class members.
  • Integration with semantic-diff.
