README
PJ
==
Full documentation is at [pj.lorentzos.com](http://pj.lorentzos.com).
PJ (stands for Pythonic Java) is a template language for Java that resembles Python's indent grammar and compiles into native Java. Inspired by Python and [Jade](http://jade-lang.com).
---
The grammar is currently under development.
The aim is to create more a readable source code of Java. Ommiting braces can create 30% reduction in lines of the source code.
Syntax
------
PJ is a clean, whitespace sensitive syntax for writing Java. Here is a simple example:
Classic Java:
```java
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
printHello();
}
private void printHello(){
System.out.println("Hello, World");
}
}
```
PJ:
```java
public class HelloWorld
public static void main(String[] args)
printHello()
private void printHello()
System.out.println("Hello, World")
```
Installation
---------
TODO: Download the latest version [directly](PJ/raw/master/PJ-latest.jar).
Or via gradle:
```
dependencies {
compile 'com.lorentzos.pj:PJ:x.x.x'
}
```
Find the latest version at [Gradle please](http://gradleplease.appspot.com/#pj)
Use
---
To create a Java file from PJ simply:
```sh
$ java -jar PJ-0.1.0.jar [-options]
```
Options include:
-c | -compile
To generate .java files and compile them.
-cd
To compile but not generate .java files.
-o: outputpath
To specify the output path.
Development
------
The grammar is being designed with Antlr4. A visitor is used to emit the results from the parsed tree.
The project can easily be imported with Gradle. Todo`assembleCompiler` task generates the latest Compiler jar
Also in plans there is Intellij Plugin from Syntax Highlightting and a probably a Gradle plugin to automate Compiler's job (+Android support).
