# Let's build a compiler !

Minimal c-like language built using java, ANTLR4, and jasmin

Summary of tools used :

- [Jasmin](http://jasmin.sourceforge.net/) : an assembler for the Java Virtual Machine.
- [ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition)](http://www.antlr.org/) is a powerful parser generator for reading, processing, executing, or translating structured text or binary files. 
- [TestNG](http://testng.org/doc/index.html) a java unit-testing framework

Test cases are available [here](compiler/src/test/resources/examples)

## [Installing third-party jars in maven](https://stackoverflow.com/a/36602256)

Define a local maven repository in folder `lib/` in pom.xml :

```xml
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>local-maven-repo</id>
        <url>file:./lib</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>
```

For each external jar you want to install run :

```bash
mvn deploy:deploy-file \
    -DgroupId=com.example \
    -DartifactId=example \
    -Dversion=1.0 \
    -Durl=file:./lib/ \
    -DrepositoryId=local-maven-repo \
    -DupdateReleaseInfo=true \
    -Dfile=/path/to/file.jar
```
