Okay so I found a better way to handle annotation values properly and without
having UnparsedExpressions
be used, so that is nice. Right now what I need
to work on is parsing of the various expressions that exist.
17:11
Actually being forced to handle expression takes care of the bulk work since the code will be used in the main block, just hope it turns out well.
17:37
Oh, I get it. The (expression)expression3
format is for stuff like this kind
of thing: ((Type)new Boop()).hello()
. So that makes sense. I think for
simplicity I will just drop the parenthesis and make it an expression.

Maybe for expressions the best thing to do would be to sub-class things and load it full of expressions and such. That would make the class a bit messy but it would work for the most part. However, what could work is a sub-package which contains the expression tree. Basically what I can do is have it where all expressions are of their given type in the syntax tree so that there is no way to mess it up. I do wish I could use static methods in interfaces for some of these, but it is what it is.
17:49
So the three types of Expression3
will implement that interface but they
will be distinct classes, that would match the syntax tree for the most part.
