Module io.github.ascopes.jct

module io.github.ascopes.jct
A framework for performing exhaustive integration testing against Java compilers in modern Java libraries, with a focus on full JPMS support.

The Java Compiler Testing API has a number of facilities for assisting in testing anything related to the Java compiler. This includes Javac plugins and JSR-199 annotation processors.

All test cases are designed to be as stateless as possible, with facilities to produce managed test directories on RAM disks or in temporary locations within the host file system.

Integration test cases can be written to cross-compile against a range of Java compiler versions, with the ability to provide as much or as little configuration detail as you wish.

Compilation results are complimented with a suite of assertion facilities that extend the AssertJ API to assist in writing fluent and human-readable test cases for your code. Each of these assertions comes with specially-developed human-readable error messages and formatting.

Full JUnit5 integration is provided to streamline the development process, letting you focus on your code rather than flaky test environments and dependency management.

Any questions, feedback, or issues can be submitted on GitHub.

Releases can be found on Maven Central.
